3 Years and Counting...

Today Nate and I celebrated 3 years of "wedded bliss." I can honestly say that the past three years have not been entirely blissful. We have had our hard times, our arguments {wait, I mean disagreements:) }, our ups and downs, our fun times, our goofy times, our "laugh-out-loud" funny times, and I wouldn't trade any of them. Each trial and experience we have gone through has strengthened not only our relationship with each other, but our relationship with our Lord and Savior. I am so thankful for the godly man that the Lord has blessed me with. We have such different personalities, yet we are just so perfect for each other. We complement each other very well. I am a pretty balanced mix of Sanguine/Choleric where Nate is all Phlegmatic! It is humorous at times how different we really are. :)

Our Anniversary Dinner at Olive Garden

Ten Things I Love About My Nate-the-Great:
1. His beautiful, blue eyes
2. His ability to always make me laugh, even when I'm mad at him
3. His passion and desire to do what God wants him to do
4. The way he'll sit and listen to me ramble about "nothing"
5. The way he loves on our sweet Eliana
6. His love for soccer and how he wants to use it as a platform for the glory of God
7. How he always knows the right thing to say
8. His desire to be constantly growing as a Christian, husband, and daddy
9. His ever-improving ability to lead me and our family
10. His hugs and kisses:)

Eliana's 9 Month Update

My sweet, little baby is 9 months old. Sometimes I can't believe she has already been in our lives for that long, and at other times I feel like she has been here forever. I definitely couldn't imagine my life without her. She brings so much joy to mine and Nate's life. She is at such a fun age! She is mimicking everything we do, crawling everywhere, pulling herself up onto everything, and is learning things the hard way :).
