Another year older

Here I am another year older; what a whirlwind of a year!

From single to married in 5 months
From living in landlocked Missouri to living on tropical island Okinawa

From being a full-time student to being a housewife who occasionally volunteers
From being a virgin to..you know...

From having short hair to having long
From having 3 lady roommates to having 1 man roommate
From English, French, and Moore to Japanese
From non-denominational Christian Fellowship to baptist Koza
From being 23 to being 24
From shopping at Wal-Mart and Schnucks to shopping at the PX and the Commissary
From hobbies such as going to coffee shops to hobbies such as laying on the beach and bike riding

I never could have imagined a life filled with so much adventure, so much unknown, so much joy, and so much laughter. Its amazing all of the changes that take place in just one year of our lives; what a joy it is to have a constant in Jesus Christ. I pray, Lord, that you fill this next year with more excitement, more joy, and more adventure.
