1 month down...lifetime to go

Well we made it, we have completed month 1! It has been a great journey. We celebrated together and our families the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a lot to be thankful for. We had a fantastic wedding, we had safe travels to and from our honeymoon, we have a wonderful home together, we both have jobs (Mike at Menards, Amy at Oak Heights), we have a little puppy who is getting better and better behaved.....(jury is still out on that one), and most importantly we have a God that watches over our daily activities, dreams, joys and sorrows.

Now that we have month number 1 down, we have started to learn how to show each other love. And how to really embrace who each other is. As we are preparing for this lovely season we are super excited to head to the cities for the Christmas weekend. We will spend the Eve, early Christmas morning with Amy's family; her tradition is Anderson (mom's side) is Christmas Eve, then Christmas day only with immediate family. Mike's family is being very welcoming to us whenever we can get there. So we'll head out to Maplewood late morning on Christmas Day and spend our time there until the 27th! I know we are both very, very excited to see friends, enjoying the weather in this cold season.

We pray for you as you embrace what this holiday really means!

Blessings,

Mike and Amy
