Honeymoon!

Here are some highlights from our honeymoon at Cap Juluca in Anguilla, British West Indies!  We loved the place sooooo much! We were so sad to leave the crystal clear water and white sand beaches.  Everything was perfect!  To see more pictures, check out Kaitlin's Facebook page!

Hitched!

Kaitlin and I are now married (and have been since January 10th)!  It was such an amazing day!  Everything felt perfect and we can't think of anything that went wrong.  We were so pleased to share the day with all of our friends and family.  I love my wife!!!

2009, Our Year

So the New Year has begun.  It was a really mellow New Year's Eve, as usual.  Mark came over to Kaitlin's house with us and we played a cool game called Liar's Dice and watched Elf and Swingers.  Last night was not too eventful, unlike the rest of the year ahead of us.  This year of 2009 will be the year of the following:

• The year I get married
• The year I move into my own place
• The year I financially support myself and my wife
• The year Kaitlin and I travel on our own
• The year I try to figure out the balancing act of marriage and full-time ministry
• The year of being able to invite friends and family over to our condo 
• The year I become amazing at my new Wii and Rockband
• The year I look back on 20, 30, 40... years down the road to remember how long ago we were married
• The year of God's blessing!

I'm sure there are more and some of them relate to each other, but I am certain this is going to be an amazing time!  I'm just sitting in our half-decorated and furnished condo, resting after my pre-wedding-workout and getting ready to see my beautiful wife-to-be and run errands for our condo today.  

Happy 2009!

(9 days and counting...)

Hang in There...

9 days until Graduation.

One month until our wedding!!!

FIT

So today I began my healthy kick!  I am shaping up for marriage... which is in like 50-something days! Not only do I want to be in fit physically (nice abs, decent guns, defined pecs... you know...the things ladies like), I also want to be spiritually fit and well equipt to lead and serve Kaitlin as my beautiful and glodly wife!  So here is my plan/the things I am focusing on:

• Run or exercise once a day (I started with a mile today--which was difficult since I haven't been exercising in a while-- but hopefully I'll get up to 2 or 3 a day).
• Stay in the Word daily.
• Pray for our marriage and relationship.
• I've been watching The Peasant Princess sermon series from Mars Hill Church by Mark Driscoll.  It is an amazing series on the Song of Solomon.  It makes me so excited to be married, have a wife, and be a man who will lead her.
• Healthy eating.  Here are my favorite healthy foods: grapefruit, quinoa, protein bars, red peppers, celery, yerba mate green tea, lean turkey, egg whites, and lots and LOTS of water!!!

I love getting into shape both physically and spiritually.  When I do it combined, I feel good!  So, ya...that's what I'm up to.  (P.S.-Kaitlin told me I have been slacking in blogging, especially about myself, so there ya go!)

Let The Countdown Begin...

2 months (exactly) until our wedding!
