One Year Old

Welcome to our second year of marriage!

We had an amazing first year, full of amazing memories from Dominica that we will never forget.

As we headed to the airport to leave the island (bright & early at 4:30am), it finally hit us that we were leaving our first home as a married couple. We were saying goodbye to friends that we will forever be bonded to because of our shared adventures on the island. And we were even sad to leave our first "adopted" pets!

But let me tell you, it is so good to be back in the amazing United States, home sweet home! And we were so happy to be able to celebrate our anniversary on August 25th back home!

We spent the day simply spending quality time together (which is definitely my love language!) We wandered around downtown Naperville stopping to have lunch, and of course, grab some ice cream!

Later than night we headed to Cheesecake Factory for a great, romantic dinner.

But that wasn't the end of our celebration...

Kyle knows me too well, and knows I love surprises. So before we went to bed that night, he handed me a card with two tickets to see Wicked in Chicago the next night! And to top it off, he made hotel reservations as well! I know, I'm spoiled! :) We loved the show and recommend that you see it!

We hope to continue the blog as we continue on with the next step of our journey! But we also want to thank you all so much for reading our adventures, and for our your thoughts and prayers for our first year of marriage. We have definitely been showered in blessings, and have loved that God hand-picked each of you to be in our lives!
