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!

Shanan comes to Visit



For those of you that didn't already know this, a friend of mine that I graduated high school with started Vet School at St. Matthews last semester. It was nice to have a familiar face for Dusty and I so far from home. We would sit with Jesse and talk about home or just hang out. It was such a blessing for us! His girlfriend, now fiance Shanan, came to visit a couple of times and we would all go eat when the boys weren't studying. Shanan kept me company during the day too :-) We were able to catch up from when we were younger and very close friends! Enjoy!
