almost one year

Wow, it has almost been one year since Mohan married me! We now refer to our dating period as “the old days”! Ha. It’s been a great year, I just cannot believe how the time goes by. This time last year seems like a blur to me. Here’s what I was doing just in June and July 08 (not in any order)…trying to quit my job at Stone Creek Church, planning my wedding, Chicago outreach, traveled to Amy’s wedding, trained my replacement, high school graduations, meeting new family and friends, saying goodbye to everyone, resigned as a youth leader, marriage counseling :), packing up my apt. and Mo’s house, moving to Michigan, honeymoon to Paris, reception and family in Minnesota, trips back to Illinois, marriage, starting over in Detroit, new apartment, attending Real Church and meeting my new friends….whew! It was a whirlwind, but it was awesome. I hardly did anything “normal” last summer, such as go to the park, or swim, or ride my bike.

Now, this summer i still haven’t done anything too normal – i’m planning to ride my bike and go to the metro parks. But it will have to wait until July since we leave this coming Sunday for vacation!! It does seem that I am always going somewhere. It’s not that I’m avoiding Francy Zagar, its just that our paths don’t seem to cross very easily. We will have to work on that :)

Mo has the week off before the fourth, and it’s an extra blessing that it falls on our wedding anniversary. So we will be traveling to Alaska to see his parents and see some of the sights that we’ve missed on other trips. We’re going to see glaciers and mountains and bears and moose and stuff like that. My goal is to go kayaking or skydiving, either one is fine.

I feel so blessed to be able to travel. When I was a kid, growing up in Minnesota, we hardly ever traveled. Our vacations usually were camping trips or family visits to relatives in Iowa or northern MN. We had a happy childhood, but never really went too far. There are still tons of places in the states and all over the world that I want to see! My list is constantly growing. I think it is awesome that I’ve been able to travel these past few years, and I hope my family gets to see more than I ever saw growing up. I have big plans!

It’s really fun to look back and remember what you’ve been through – the good and the not so fun. Being married is awesome, I wouldn’t trade any of it! And being in the will of God is amazing, no worries here!
