At the beginning of the year I started this blog as a creative outlet for myself.
Oh and I met Michelle Obama!

The first few months of the year we were busy getting plugged into our Bible study and opening our home to many people, mostly college students. I was also in two of my closest friends' weddings.
I also failed at taking pictures of our life - whoops.

In May we went to the beach twice: once with my family and once
with Caleb's family. We had gorgeous weather both trips
and loved the time we were able to spend with our families!
In the summer Caleb was looking to switch jobs, so we were busy traveling for different interviews.
This picture was from the 18 hours we were in Nashville.
Our favorite part of the year was our vacation to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons!
August marked the arrival of my first nephew! He is the sweetest little boy!
At the end of the summer, Caleb accepted a job and two weeks later
we moved away from our first home together.
In September I ran my first race!
In November we visited Caleb's grandparents' farm.
We were able to spend Thanksgiving weekend with my whole family!
We celebrated our second married Christmas together with lots of Christmas activities.
Looking back, this year did not turn out like we expected. Caleb was enrolled to go back to school for his MBA, meaning we were staying where we were for a few more years. Then everything changed: Caleb got a new job, we're living in a different state, and we're looking for a house to settle down in here! I'm so thankful that our lives are ultimately in the Lord's hands, and that He is in control - not us! We are so incredibly happy where we are and praise the Lord for all He's blessed us with!
Sherri this was so wonderful! I love the pictures and I am so happy for you and caleb! You are so right our lives are totally in God's Hands. Love you! xo

Awesome recap! I love the verse, "In his heart a man plans his ways, but the Lord directs his steps..." SO true for you all this past year! I'm glad for all that He's brought you through and can't wait to see what 2012 holds for you both. Love you :)

ReplyDeleteGreat year, it's so exciting that you met Michelle Obama!
ReplyDeleteSo great to be able to trust in the Lord no matter the twists and turns our lives may take. I'm hoping our lives take a twist to the Grand Tetons this summer. That sounds like fun! :)
ReplyDeletehello, new follower here! if you dont mind me asking how old r u?? you look about my age and was just curious. I'm 20
ReplyDelete@Alecia Leigh - a lady never tells her age! But I am definitely older than 20.
ReplyDeleteWow, so much in one year! You've had a full married life already, and it's only been about 1 1/2 years! It was fun to see your year in review. Love you.
