and twenty-three

We're having a baby!

We could not be more excited about adding to our family and we can't believe that God has blessed us so much in just the first 6 months of marriage. This is what we both have wanted and a huge part of our desire to get married. We wanted to start a family as soon as possible because what isn't gained by having more people in your life? Neither of us ever had a strong calling for a job or mission or anything like that, but we are sure that this is our calling: to raise a family that fears God and loves his creation. We are so excited to begin our life's work:)

In other news... we got our Christmas tree this weekend! It looks so cute and adorable in our living room, although it is completely bare at this point with one little present sitting under its branches.

I did not see this working...

Cutting off the bottom to make our first year Christmas ornament

The man himself

I'll have to put a picture of it all cute and done up once we have some things to adorn it with:)

Merry Christmas!
