Settling into a one-bedroom apartment
Homemade fall decorations being replaced by homemade winter ones
Our first Christmas as husband and wife
Packing up a few months later to move into a three-bedroom house with wisteria and shade trees
Afternoon drives to mom's and dad's to cure homesickness
Evenings spent studying with husband for his classes
A diamond on my sister's left hand
A new job
A spring-break road trip with precious friends
A graduation celebration for another sister
The birth of a nephew
Pinwheels, cottonwoods, fireworks, first kiss, and a gold band is added to my sister's diamond
A road trip to California, four days of the Word, increased resolve
Playing in flower bed dirt, working on small house projects side by side, daydreaming of more to come
Tasting and seeing. The Lord is so very good.
