everyday life

Who knew that just everyday life could be so exciting?! Kirk & I find so much joy in routine activities like grocery shopping, washing dishes, doing laundry, and watching TV now that we can do them all together! Ain't life grand?


Last night we saw this really incredible documentary about the life and times of the golden jackals of Tanzania. There was basically a camera crew that followed one jackal family for a little over 1 year. It was amazing to see their interactions with each other and the life cycle of which they are a part. Being the absolute animal lover that I am, I was mesmerized by the tiny baby jackals. They were so adorable!! I'm always in awe of what an "awe-some" Creator we have and how He maintains constant attention to every little aspect of this vast planet and the creatures on it that He made and loves very much ....... all of us!

a few photos....

*gasp* an update !!

Hello again! You probably thought I'd dropped off the face of this lovely planet, didn't you? Well, I'm still here .... just happily MARRIED now!

Kirk & I had an absolutely wonderful wedding day. Our family and friends were there to celebrate with us, and the weather was gorgeous. We also enjoyed a glorious honeymoon on the beaches of Cancun, Mexico. We snorkeled in a coral reef, ate delectable foods, saw the Mayan ruins at Chitchen Itza, ate more 5-star cuisine, swam multiple times daily, ate more food, drove around some neat waverunners in the gulf, visited Isla Mujeres, and did I mention that we ate?!?! Our resort was amazing. For some reason, I'm tech-savvy enough today to post lotsa great photos, so I'll try to get a tutorial on photo-blogging then provide some for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks to everyone for sending their well-wishes & congrats! We're so excited to start our new life journey together! I'll try to get Kirk to post on here soon also!
