525,600 Minutes...

525,600 minutes…how do you measure, measure a year? This is a line from a song in the musical Rent…one of my favorite songs to pretend I can sing to (just ask my sister). This year has been measured with many firsts. A year ago Saturday I married my best friend. It was a rainy Friday in June, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. We were surrounded by our wonderful families and awesome, but sometimes crazy friends. The girls were able to successfully perform the Hoedown Throwdown for wedding guests and a few of the groomsmen ended the night without their shirt (to the bride’s embarrassment but the groom’s approval).

After our first dance I took it upon myself to measure this past year by the number of firsts that Trent and I experienced together. Throughout the year I pointed out nearly every first, even when Trent began to roll his eyes; first apartment, first Christmas, first date night, first movie, first time watching a favorite TV show, first time grocery shopping, first birthdays and to Trent’s dismay, first cat…literally every first!

Now we are beginning our second year together as a married couple. I am excited, because there are still many firsts to come in the future as well as many new things awaiting us. It will be interesting to see the plan God has in store for us…but regardless of what that is we have a few things to help us along the way…each other, great family and great friends.

Then...


Now...
