One Year Ago Today...

I married the man of my dreams. We have had a wonderful first year. It has been full of special times along with it challenges. We have already been through a lot together. Adjusting to a new home and life together, finding out we were expecting in December, two trips to California, a newlyweds retreat, growing a big garden, raising various animals for meat, milk and eggs, about a month when Andrew was sick with a colon flare up, and the birth of our little son. Through everything we have just fallen more in love with each other. We have also been learning that God will see us through whatever comes our way. So here's celebrating a wonderful year of marriage. I love you Andrew!

Special Flowers

While at the hospital Andrew surprised me with this beautiful bouquet of red roses and white carnations.



These flowers were from my mom when I left the hospital

Fairtime!

The Northeast Washington Fair was the last weekend in August. We all enjoyed spending time there and seeing all the exhibits. Here are a few highlights.

While We Wait

Well we are still waiting for the baby. My family is up here visiting and waiting...
So in the meantime I mave been canning things from the garden. I made relish, dill and sweet pickles, pickled peppers, and green beans.
