8 years ago today....

I married my best friend and we began an adventure that I could never have predicted or imagined. It has been a wild ride and I have learned so much about myself, relationship, family, life, commitment, and love. This last year we have experienced so many new, amazing, and challenging things. But we got to do it together; as a family, and that is the best part. I never would have imagined in a a million years that 8 years ago while my best girlfriends and I got 'our hair did' and prepared for my wedding that 8 years later I would be living in Africa! But that is the amazing thing about marriage; if you are open to love, vulnerability, healing, new things, and guidance from Him God just may take you anywhere. I am not sure where we will be in another 8 years or even next year but I know it will never cease to be an adventure!!

Our team leader's wife Doro made us this beautiful cake to celebrate!! It also is a national holiday here for workers called saba-saba (7-7):) so everyone celebrated with us!
