The Winery at Chateau Elan is above. There were three weddings going on while we were there so that was really fun! And there wine is awesome BTW!!
Ok... So I apoligize in advance to my readers.. considering I have no children, I am allergic to practically every animal and therefore cannot have a pet, my postings tend to be a bit boring and a bit repetitive, "I love being married and I love teaching," So if there is any faithful readers out there, (thanks Kim) it means alot that you would stick with me eventhough my words are not meaningful or a bit entertaining... so with that said.... YAY!! We made it a year... Does that mean I am no longer a newlywed? When I am out in public, will I still get asked the question, "So... hows married life?" Hmmm... questions I ponder.. I was talking to one of my dear friends on the phone last night (love you Mary) and she said, "Someone told me that your first year of marriage is the hardest. What do you think?" I told her that all I knew was the first year so I will have to get back to her after the second year. Some of the wisest advice that I have received is that marriage is the hardest and most wonderful thing all at the same time. I agree with that completely. Each party in the marriage has to work at it each and everyday..... and when this happens.... it is the time of your life!!
If I were not a teacher, I really think I would enjoy being a relationship counselor. I am intrigued by relationships... not just in marriage.. but in friendships, families, etc. I see the Lord's work so much in people and in realtionships and so I think this is what enthralls me. Kyle heres me on the phone some times and tells me that I should start charging my clients.. So anyway... all of this rambling to say.. I have been thinking a lot about dating/marriage relationships lately. It hurts my heart to think that 50% of marriages today end in divorce! Yikes.... it kills me to here about unfaithfulness in relationships.. and lie after lie.. And those who suffer from having a phobia to commitment.. and sweet and beautiful girls always being available when he is finally ready to take them to dinner.. What can we do to get relationships back to the way the Lord intended them to be?
Happy Anniversay Kyle.... I love you and thank you for the best year of my life (I only wish you read my blog!!!)
