a very-much, long-awaited post!

i don't know how i'm going to update y'all on our lives the past month.

i'll start with school. the semester has ended, and i have finished! i made pretty good grades, so i was happy with that. what i was not happy with was having 12 papers due for one class on may 13th. i will never ever be a procrastinator again. but, I DID IT! :)

also, the flood is here. it's been really crazy to see and watch over the past few weeks. many of you have asked if we're going to be flooded, and no, we're not. thank you for showing concern. i will ask you to pray for those who's houses, lives, and crops are damaged in all of this. it's pretty surreal and sad. i will post pictures on another blog of some flooding in the yazoo area.

Anywho, in the past month, we have celebrated both of our birthdays and our one year anniversary! i cant believe it. the 'hardest year' is over (HA, yea right), and i cant believe all of the things we've done and accomplished in that year. i wrote out every single memory i have from this past year for dane. it was so fun thinking back on all of the big and little moments. yes, i mentioned all 5 moves, dane's wonderful job, this great life we've established here in yazoo city, graduating from undergrad, starting grad school, dane surprising me with bea, and all of the tiny, little things in between. i won't share all of them with you :) all i know is that i'm a lucky girl for marrying a wonderful man. i get to love him everyday and i get to share my life with him. and i even get to do his laundry :) haha. i could go on and on about how much Dane means to me and how the Lord has blessed me and him and us together, but i will save that for another time. 

Here are some pictures from our birthdays!

Dane surprised me with this on my birthday! I WAS PUMPED!! it's a window box herb garden (with some ferns, begonias, gardenias, and a cactus, too!) that now sits right under our kitchen window. my herbs have exploded! i have garlic chives, oregano, lemon thyme, italian parsley, rosemary, and dill. love love love love love!! thank you D for such a wonderful, awesome, thoughtful gift! 

motay and von-gretel. our favorite. haha (kidding, Ann!)
Dane and Eddie lovin' time.

big country cam got redneck on us and went fishin' in the pond
some people just hanging out. yes that's our house, and yes, it's much cuter than it looks ? haha
Happy Birthday to you!
