Today marks the one year wedding anniversary for Nathaniel and I! A year since "I do"; a year of laughs, cries, puzzled looks, pillow talk, planning and dreaming of more years together! We've had our share of disagreements, both big and small, and we still have not figured out how to best do dinnertime together (No, I won't cook bacon or red meat 7 nights a week). We've been through night shift/day shift transition, a few home owner projects, and experienced growing pains in a new church. There are multiple Nathaniel nuances which I just have to smile and shake my head - one of my favorites is that he daily puts the couch throw pillows on the floor or another chair because they interfere with napping, and daily I follow, putting them back where they look the best. One year and I love him more. I'm so excited for more years together!

To celebrate, we took off to Santa Fe for the weekend. It was my first time in New Mexico, and on the 7 hr drive down south, I found myself playing "I spy" with tumbleweeds (There's just something so cool about them!), cactus, antelope, dirt devils, and trying so hard to to spy armadillos (I'm convinced they exist in NM, but I was told otherwise) and road runners - like in Wiley Coyote!
Santa Fe was a blast, filled with sunny pool time, a glorious king size bed, art galleries and more art galleries, allergies to all the dust and fires, great food, locals wishing us a happy summer solstice (really?), and a radio free detour on the way home through Taos (as in, no music, no podcasts, nothing for 8 hrs. I guess it made space for conversation...whatev). I highly recommend Santa Fe for anyone who hasn't been- it was great!

So cheers to a wonderful husband who always makes me laugh and a grace filled marriage. And Praise the LORD from whom all blessings flow!
