On Tuesday Joe and I celebrated our two year anniversary! I was grateful that we could be together... last year on our one year anniversary Joe was out on deployment during a period of radio silence, so we didn't even have email! Thankfully this year we were able to go out to eat.
We had a nice dinner at Red Lobster thanks to Joe's mom! We debated dressing up and going somewhere nicer, but I didn't feel all that great that day so we opted for someplace more casual. And we had a good time thinking back on the nearly three and a half years we've known each other.
The thing I remember most about my wedding day was the total sense of peace that the Lord granted to me. 2006 was a difficult year for me, there were many times I struggled with anxiety. And so, after a stressful year, I expected that some of that would carry over into my wedding day.
But instead, all day I felt an amazing sense of peace in my heart that marrying Joe was right. I really believe that that was God's gift to me that day, and I was so grateful to Him that I could truly enjoy the day without any worry or anxiety at all.
In just over a week, Joe and I will be flying to Oklahoma to celebrate not only Christmas, but also my brother Craig's wedding on December 27! Caroline and Craig have been dating for two and a half years- they met on a five week trip to China through the University of Oklahoma.
