Life

We have been doing a lot of trips to Nashville before and after my niece was born, and we might be hosting Gail this year for Thanksgiving and traveling for Christmas and our beach vacation. We knew we didn’t have a lot of time left in there to see Simon and Sarah,but we really wanted to make the effort to see them. We went to see them for Thanksgiving last year, and they came to use at New Years, and I saw Sarah for a few hours during Kira’s Baby Shower in June,but other than that we haven’t spent much time with them. They just moved into a new Apartment/Loft, and so we felt bad that they had to scramble to be ready to host, but Labor Day Weekend was the perfect time to travel since we had an extra day.

So I know this is a random post,but it is  the only way to share pictures that don’t fit into another type of post.

Two weekends ago, I visited Nashville to be able to see my Sister Tanya who was visiting to help my Sister Kira and Brother in Law Andrew with Alana, cooking, cleaning, etc.

So as you saw in the previous post, we celebrated our 5 year anniversary. We looked into all of the expensive places to eat here, but Grant was wanting ribs, and I was wanting slow cooked steak with a mushroom sauce. So, we just went to Outback Steak House since they had both of those dishes. I know that might seem kind of lame for the 5 year dinner,but we both wanted to go there and were happy.

Today is Grant and my 5th wedding Anniversary which is insane to think about. We have been so blessed throughout our marriage, and we have to remind each other that we have been married as long as we have because sometimes it seems too easy. We have had our ups and downs which mainly came from life circumstances rather than actual issues in our marriage,but I am sure those times will come. I love that Grant and I have always had the same goals that we are working toward. This last year has been pretty busy as well with moving cross country and slowly getting used to living somewhere new. If you had told us a year ago that we would have moved etc., we would have laughed at you. Thank goodness God’s plans are better than we can imagine even if we did have to wait a long time for it. It is amazing, I keep thinking life is too good to be true; that we are being blessed too much,but of course am so grateful! I have loved being able to experience life with Grant who definitely has all of the qualities that I lack and can’t wait to see what will happen in the future. I love you Grant!
