Two Years

Chris and I will be celebrating our Two year Anniversary next week. 


Two years of...
laughing
crying
kissing 




arguing
praying
sharing

   
growing
loving
stressing


learning
listening
caring


I cannot believe that I have been married to this man for 2 year!
He puts up with so much, especially from me.
He is my BEST friend. He's there for me when I feel like no one else is.
He understands me, when I feel like no one else in the world does.
He is so thoughtful and sweet.
Not to mention a stud!!

This year we don't have much money, but as long as Christopher Gilmer is by my side I know our Anniversary will be wonderful.

My lover is mine, and I am his.

Why Blog?

It's a fair question.
I suppose I don't have a lot of advice to give. 
After all, I'm only 23 years old, I have only been married for about two years, and I don't have any children.
I guess the main reason I'm starting this is so I have a record of my life (as small as it may seem). I want to capture the small moments of joy in everyday. Sometimes its so easy to focus on the negatives but I want this blog to help me remember the positives.


A few things that you need to know about me before we embark on this journey;

I am in love with my Savior. 
I am proud to be His daughter.
I want my life to glorify Him everyday.

I am married to a wonderful, loving, forgiving, and passionate man, named Christopher.
He is my protector and life raft.

Chris and I want to reach Mexico for Christ.
He wants to be a preacher in Mexico and I want to help women and children know who Christ truly is.

Chris and I met at Baptist Bible College (Springfield, MO) in 2008.
We are still in school, but we are currently living in Owasso, OK.
My parents offered to let us live with them to save money while we take online classes. 
(more details on this later).

I am a full time nanny right now and will probably post a lot of pictures and stories about the sweet little girl I watch. 

Another few random things about me;
*I have one younger brother named Simon.
*I love coffee.
*I am obsessed with Superman. 
*I like quilting.
*I want to be a stay-at-home-Mom one day.
*I openly love Disney movies.
*I like singing. But I don't really like doing it in public.
*My husband and I are learning Spanish.
*I would love to learn how to be a photographer. 
*If I had my choice I would want two boys and one girl.
*My husband was my first and only boyfriend (I had another one for four days, but that doesn't really count right?)
*As cheesy as it may seem, My dream is to do nothing more than to garden, sew, bake, home school, and read, daily. But I'm pretty sure I won't have time for all of that, but hey, I said it was a dream right!?
