First Half Anniversary

I realize I quickly became a slacker blogger, but I'm going to blame the holidays and travel and move on :-).

Today marks SIX months of marriage. Praise God! Tim & I were able to go on a date exploring a fun part of Pittsburgh this afternoon, and then go out to a nice Italian dinner, thanks to a gift from one of our mission partners! We reflected on how hard, but very good, our life together has been so far; how much we've learned and grown, while admitting that it hasn't been without pain. I suppose I knew it all hypothetically before I got married, but the Cross really does make sense of love, sense of life. 

Ah, but it's late, so to mark our having been married 6 months, I thought I'd post a few of the wedding pictures I've been promising everyone :-).

Sisters! We took one just like this at Rachel's wedding four years ago.

Dad walking me down the isle...

Tim's excited & I'm just trying to handle all the eyes on me. 

That's my 'please don't look at me' face.

My beautiful bridesmaids.

The Groomsmen, looking handsome and intense.

 

Promising our love & lives to one another.

Parents & Newlyweds.

First Dance as Mr. & Mrs. 

First Dance Finale. Now I love dancing with Tim even more. 

My cake! So happy with how it turned out!

It's late, and there are many more wonderful pictures, but I'm also almost 6 months pregnant, and it's bedtime. Turning in a very grateful wife & mother….
