365 days

365 days...

That's how long we've been married. The year has flown by, really.

I think back to last summer, when Chris was in Iraq and I had recently moved to College Station and those months felt like an eternity. I am grateful that they are only a memory now.

In our first year of marriage we..

• got a dog, Scout
• went on a cruise
• made some married friends at Grace Bible Church
• met our new nephew, Kai
• Chris rode the MS150, and Lei watched :)
• bought a house
• Lei completed a year of work at St. Joseph's, Chris finished his first year of grad school
• Chris taught his first class during the summer as THE teacher
• Lei got signed up to substitute school nurse at College Station ISD
• were sooo blessed!

I feel it's only appropriate to have a few pictures from that monumental August 29, 2009.

It took me a while to rummage through all the pictures. I love to go back to that day. Hands down, the best day of my life. Marrying Chris has been such a blessing. I am humbled to know God gave me a best friend and a wonderful companion.

Chris, I love you so much and I thank God for you. Thank you for such a wonderful first year.
