Lately...

Since the last post on here has absolutely nothing about what we've been up to, I figured it was time for an update. :)
Back in April, I was able to take a quick trip to Greenville for Stephanie's baby shower. I really enjoyed my {short} time in Greenville and am so thankful I was able to go.
We had a wonderful time celebrating Easter at our church in Blacksburg. This was the first tim since we've been married that we've been able to celebrate a holiday at our church home, and it was great. We missed being with family but are glad we stayed put all the same. Thanks to Geneva for the great picture!
Then... we made a quick trip to Vegas with Bryce & Elissa. Don't believe me? Okay, you're right... we just went to the VT GSA casino night. :) Almost the same as Vegas... except we got to gamble with play money! Think I prefer that kind of gambling.
We've been working in our yard & garden. This picture is a little out of date - we've finished all our planting in the garden. I'll have to post an update soon. :)
This is a before picture of our deck on the side of our house.
And here's what it looks like after some lattice & new flower bed. This flower bed has sort of turned into an extension of garden though - we germinated more seeds than we needed for the main garden, so we've put some extras over here. We're also interested to see how the plants do in the two different places. We debated for a long time where to put the garden, so this is sort of an experiment so we can learn what's really best.
We celebrated our 3rd anniversary earlier this month - can't believe how fast these three years have gone! It's been wonderful so far and I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for us in all the years to come!
What better way to celebrate our anniversary than with homemade ice cream? (You can see it just a little bit in the bottom right of the picture.)
Finally we went on a vacation to Edisto Island in mid-May. Too many pictures to keep adding to this post... I'll work on those soon.
