This month Steve and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. With each year we continue to face new challenges in marriage, but with God's grace, we are able to work through them and our love for one another strengthens. This past year specifically has had the biggest change yet (even more so than living in Tanzania) - having our son Caleb.
Having 3 years without children was such a blessing and honestly, was needed. Those years we were able to learn how to communicate, how to resolve conflict, how to love the other one, and do things that aren't as easy with kids such as travel the world. But now that we have Caleb in our lives, we can't imagine life without him. Becoming parents definitely adds another depth to your marriage. It seems as though we are more of a team than ever before. Steve is more to me than a husband. Now he is a dad. And I'm a mom. And somehow we, together, are responsible for raising our children in a home where our kids see the grace and love of Christ in us. Talk about a challenge. But it's a challenge that we will work through together for the rest of our lives and I am so glad to have him by my side the entire way.
To celebrate, we went to Charlottesville where we visited Monticello, walked around the downtown mall, stayed in a bed and breakfast, and watched a free polo match at our favorite vineyard.
we took notes on monticello's veggie garden

the highlight of my weekend. polo is so fun to watch.
