Year 6: Fancy Robes & Travelin' Shoes ...

We decided to plan a big celebration in March ...
a belated anniversary celebration,
two belated 30th birthdays,
& an early graduation celebration to boot!

We decided to go away for four days to a cozy cabin in TN.
It was absolutely wonderful!

We sat in rocking chairs side by side
and enjoyed beautiful sunsets ...
We relaxed in the hot tub and looked at the stars.
It was a perfect retreat, and we came back feeling so energized & refreshed.
Ready for the year ahead that was packed full!

We graduated!

And this wonderful family came to celebrate with us ...

and so did this amazing bunch!

It was such a perfect week ... full of fun and festivities!
-
And then ... we hit the road ...

We got to visit lots of cool places ...
this dinosaur museum in Wyoming is
the largest active dinosaur dig in the world!

Garden of the Gods & Pike's Peak in Colorado
snow in the Big Horn Mountains
Beautiful Beaches & Sweet Memories in Seattle
We also visited friends in Oregon, Illinois, Ohio,
Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, & South Carolina,
just to name a few ...

It has been a tremendously fun year!
There have been difficulties, but overall the whole experience has definitely surpassed our expectations! We have been truly blessed by all of the wonderful friends & relatives we have visited! It has also been an amazing experience to go through as a family! I am constantly reminded of how grateful I am to have David with me on this journey. We have learned to work together better and understand each other better which is an incredible gift.

I am so thankful for these experience. God has been so faithful and good to us. We are better people than we were 6 years ago ... more committed to God and to each other, more grateful for the beautiful gifts He has given us, and more in love than we were when we walked down the aisle. I wouldn't trade these six years for anything ...
and I truly believe that the best is yet to come!
