2 Years...

Blake and I celebrated 2 years of marriage today by re-living our engagement date to Connor's Restaurant in Huntsville. The first time we went, Blake just had a bowl of lobster bisque (I guess he was too nervous to eat)... and I had a strawberry salad. Today, Blake had the lobster bisque and a prime rib sandwich (better appetite than last time)... and I had a wonderful shrimp and couscous dish! We had a great date, and I am just so blessed to be married to the love of my life. Blake truly is my best friend, and I am so excited about all the Lord has planned for our future together. I love you, Blake!

Master of Science

Here is a recap from the Thaxton's... sorry I have been slacking so much on my blogging recently.

Blake graduated with his Master of Science degree from Auburn University! I am so proud of him and can't wait to see all the Lord has prepared for him in his career!


We are celebrating our 2 year anniversary tomorrow! I can't believe we have been married 2 years... time flies when you are having fun!


I also got a new laptop this summer. I am absolutely loving it!! It is so fast compared to my old dinosaur. My old computer was in such bad shape that it won't even close anymore... sad, I know. So I saved up money from monogramming and rewarded myself. I am LOVING it!

As for the future, Blake is applying, interviewing, and waiting for a job offer. We are learning a lot about the Lord's timing and being patient when things don't go quite like you thought or planned. I am learning more and more what it means to live day by day in God's grace. We are so blessed that our apartment complex is letting up rent month-to-month instead of signing a new lease and that his professor is keeping him on graduate assistance while he is waiting for a job. So that is the latest news here! Hopefully I will be back soon with some news!
