September 25, 2011


September 25th! It's been a year. I can't believe it! We got our wedding video from my good friend Chaz yesterday. You may think a year was a long time to wait but I honestly hadn't even thought to get in contact with Chaz sooner, the year passed by so unbelievably fast. Nick said it feels like only a month, haha. Nick & I were talking about how we didn't even mind waiting to get our video because by the time we did get around to asking Chaz, it was something exciting and that we got to look forward to. We got experience that day all over again, through a different perspective. I loved seeing all our friends and family on camera. I can't wait for you to see it. Thank you Chaz for such an amazing video. We loved it.

A whole year. Maybe you've been on this journey with us since the proposal. Maybe you've just joined in. But thanks for sharing in these moments with us. I love when friends would come up to us at craft shows and comment about Nick's proposal. So sweet ;)

Nick said that he heard the 1st year of marriage was the hardest and if that's the case, then marriage is going to be awesome because this 1st year was pretty great. Our love is built on a solid and firm foundation in Christ. Though conflicts and trials may come, our love cannot be shaken because it's found in Someone greater. I see Christ's love reflected through Nicholas all the time, and isn't that how it should be? I am so humbled that God blessed me with someone like him, my mom & brother say all the time how 'lucky' I am ;) Even as I type this at 6:30 in the morning, he is getting ready to help me at another show today... When I have shows on the weekends, we say he works 7 days a week, but that is my husband. Life is good. I continually acknowledge how good the Lord is to us, I can't complain about anything. We have a great love, and our health. What more do we need?

Happy Sunday!
(& happy anniversary to my Nicholas, I hope we have a million more miles to go)

71 hello's:

  1. It's such a charming video! Chaz is such a great videographer, and the music choice is sweet (very glad to not hear the typical wedding songs).
    I've heard that the first year with a child is the hardest, but I can see the first year being really challenging too.
    Congratulations, Danni and Nick!

  33. I was thinking "we have a million more miles to go" sounds so familiar.... then John reminded me that the song used on your wedding video, was the song we used for my sister's maid of honor video. LOVE THAT SONG! AND love the video. It's seriously so well made!!!!!!!
