Celebrating 5 years of marriage...and a new nephew!!!



Today is our FIFTH wedding anniversary! Due to tax-free weekend and Stephen's insane work schedule (BOO!), we aren't able to celebrate this weekend, but we did go on a special date Wednesday:)
We are blessed beyond belief! God, in His goodness, has allows us to experience a beautiful picture of our covenant with Him through marriage. He teaches us how grace and forgiveness both work! From the very beginning, our hope was that God would be both revealed and honored by our marriage. I honestly don't know how marriages that aren't built on that foundation survive! Because we will always be united together with Christ, we will always be able to draw on the grace and forgiveness extended to us through Jesus...how awesome is that?

We have had an amazing 5 years and look forward to the many ahead!



In other news... we have a nephew!!! Bryan and Leigh welcomed their son, Seamus David Deel into the world yesterday! He is 5lbs, 14 ounces, 19.5 inches long. He is the first niece/nephew on either side so we are a first-time aunt and uncle:)


Due to obvious conflicts;) we aren't able to be in Charleston with the rest of the family, but we absolutely can NOT wait to meet him! Hopefully, we will able to visit once Harper arrives. We're excited for the cousins to meet sometime in the next few months! Not sure that they'll care one way or the other, but it will make for some cute pictures!
