one year ago today, brandon and I arrived at our new (and extremely empty) house in Iowa and slept on an air mattress in our new bedroom. It is so hard to believe that an entire year has passed since that night.
In one year, we have grown closer to some friends that we love to disc golf and play world of warcraft with.
In one year, two soft and cuddly cats have become a part of our family.
In one year, I have become a part of the family at the church and feel like I’m finding my rhythm – the things that are my gifts… as well as being able to see better where I need to grow (or delegate).
In one year, I have preached 47 sermons (with three to go!).
In one year, we have had about 45 Wednesday night dinners with the s-i-l and b-i-l and neice and nephew.
In one year, I’ve met colleagues across the state and within my own backyard and have built lasting friendships with fellow pastors.
In one year, Brandon and I have both managed to be sick more times than we can count on one hand =)
In one year, I baptized 7 babies and youth, married one beautiful couple, and helped 11 families say good bye to their loved ones.
Hopefully our next year will be as good as the next!
