It's hard to believe that it has been three years since this day....Where does the time go???
I'm very big on traditions so for the past three years Daniel and I have tried to base our annivserary around the traditional anniversary ideas.
First Year Anniversary- Paper
 |
| Daniel's thoughtful gift |
 |
| With the help of Dad, we made this sign for Daniel that still hangs on our front door |
 |
| We spent the day in Wichita. Went to Old Town Theatre and watched Toy Story 3 in 3D Two Year Anniversary- Cotton 
We are both huge Nascar fans. We went to Kansas City for our Anniversary.
 
I planned a picnic in the backyard with red "cotton" napkins.
Three year anniversary- Leather (crystal)
Daniel got me a necklace with "crystal beads"
We went to a Redhawks Baseball Game
Daniel loves homemade gifts. I ordered a "leather" Texas Rangers Baseball and wrote all over it for his card. I also got him a leather bookmark for his bible that says "faith".
We ordered cakeballs (the best you will ever eat!!) to celebrate our anniversary. A friend of ours had made these for our wedding so we wanted to include them in our anniversary. (I'm glad we did! Yummy!!)
Our "actual" anniverary day I spent in class for school and then Daniel drove me to Perry so that I could leave with the girls to Fort Worth for Premier!!
It's so hard to believe it has been three years since I
married my best friend. I love him so much and I'm so grateful for him. I thank
GOD everyday for him. The other day I was talking with my mother in law and we
were talking about how things always work out or happen for a reason. We
started talking about my journey with the Lord. Like I've said in previous
blogs, I didn't grow up going to church, I didn't know much about him, my
husband had stopped going to church once he entered high school and I only recently
got baptized last summer. I feel that our journey of trying to get pregnant and
deciding how to become parents in the past few years has lead us to be closer
to the lord. We probably would not have found a church that feels like home or
met the amazing people that love us like family. I feel in my heart that if
Daniel and I had been able to conceive a few months after getting married we
would not be where we are in our faith with God today. Daniel and I often talk
about becoming parents and continue to pray. We are hoping to start the process
in about two years. I will be finished with school this December and will start
looking for a job soon after. Our plan is for me to work for a year and then
start looking for a home. After we purchase a home we’ll start the adoption
process. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
An' how can two people who built a lovin' home,
Try for years an' never have a child of their own? When somewhere out there tonight, There's a baby no-one's holdin' tight: In need of love. To me, that don't add up. But I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans. I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky. So I don't mean to second guess you, Or criticise what I don't understand. These are just a few questions I have.
