The BEST day of our lives!

Watching the Crimson Tide Roll








Needless to say, Dusty has very much missed Alabama football while in medical school. Some Saturdays, we were able to make time to watch the game on t.v. For the Mississippi State game, Brad got us both tickets and had a blast watching it at Bryant Denny. How awesome that they are undefeated this season on top of everything! For those of you viewing this that aren't from Alabama or the South...I am not sure I can explain how big Alabama football is to our families. I think that is why our veins run Crimson ;-) Enjoy!

"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes"
Romans 1:16

The Lord has giving Brad and Mary Claire such an awesome opportunity to minister in His name on the campus of the University of Alabama. Since giving their lives completely to Him over a year ago, an amazing journey has taken place. Along with a group of friends and other students, as well as the Basement Ministry in Birmingham, they have formed UnAshamed. A college ministry that meets on campus on Thursday nights. It is just amazing with over 300 students meeting there every week, including some of the Alabama football players. Now that Dusty and I are home, we have been able to be a part of a few of their worship services! These kids are passionately in love with Jesus and are truly UnAshamed of His name!
If you have a chance, go to this link to watch the drama, "Bleeding Love"

Sweet Home Alabama
We are home and this is a mix of pictures from different things we've done in the first month back home. Dusty of course has been studying night and day, so we were laying low for most of our first weeks home. We enjoyed birthday gatherings and just being with family. We already greatly miss Grand Cayman but feel so blessed to be back in Sweet Home Alabama and are enjoying the things we missed while away :-)!

Our One Year Anniversary!!
































One last stop at our favorite coffee house, Paperman's, before boarding the plane :-)
Esther telling us bye before we left Cayman.Our last time in the Cayman Airport....for now :-)


So, how do I begin this one? We can not believe that we are celebrating one year of marriage together already! It has been a wonderful year, living on a beautiful island and learning to live together as one! God has indeed blessed us, in ways we probably still haven't quite realized yet! To begin our honeymoon, we stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta. So, to celebrate our one year anniversary and to say goodbye to this beautiful place, we decided to stay at the Ritz-Carlton here in Grand Cayman. Needless to say, it was our gift to each other :-). The pictures will say enough for themselves, but we wanted to share this with you first. On our day of arrival, a man named Rudolph greeted us by bringing our bags to the door. Normally, a bell hop wouldn't keep you for an hour talking about this and that. However, this had to be a divine appointment with God. He began talking to us about how beautiful marriage is and things he has learned along the way through his. He shared how the first year of marriage is the most trying and that we had overcome that milestone and that we would continue to share a beautiful marriage together. He talked about things that rang so true in our hearts that it made us cry standing there. We knew that the Holy Spirit was talking through this man to us. On our anniversary, a special love message just to Dusty and I from our Heavenly Father. To tell us that, Yes, He has His hand on us and that He will be our sustainer and provider through our journey together! It was beautiful and a trip we will never forget!

P.S. Dusty bought our first family camera and we enjoyed having it to take these amazing pictures at the Ritz. It is a Nikon and the most wonderful camera we have ever owned! Enjoy!
