Wordless Wednesday

Okay this is hardly "wordless"...but i promise I'll do better next time. I love the idea of a whole day of blogging with no words... just one perfect picture.

My mom emailed this picture of my niece to me a few days ago, look at that chubby face.

I still do...

One year ago today I got everything I had ever dreamt of and prayed for. I cannot believe it's been a whole year since I became Mrs. Kroeze. (that still think that makes me sound waaay too old) There are days we have to try a little harder than others to make it "happily ever after", but at the end of the day it's always worth it. I can tell you I love him more today than I did a year ago. He is such a blessing to me.

A few wedding memories....

" We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near. men tell of your wonderful deeds " Psalm 75:1

1 year... almost

Wade and I spent last weekend in Minneapolis celebrating our 1st anniversary! The actual day isn't for a few days yet, but this weekend worked out best to go. Originally Wade was going to plan the whole weekend...and it would be a surprise to me. Well... I'm nosy and I hate surprises. So there ended up not being to much of a surprise, but it was an amazing weekend.
Lots of shopping, lots of eating... and a horse and carriage ride. He knows me so well...

The trees on the way up the cities were beautiful! This was exactly what I had in mind a year and a half ago when I planned our October wedding. Too bad it was a late fall, and most of the trees were green yet when we got married. At least I got 3 hours to enjoy it this October.

Friday night = fun date (Wade's idea for the weekend... one "fun" date, one "romantic" date)
We ate and played arcade games at Dave & Buster's
Saturday night= Romantic date:)
Our view of the city from our table at the restaurant where we ate. Amazing!
After we ate, we went to a little coffee shop ( reminded me exactly of Central Perk from Friends?? haha ) got hot chocolate, and our carriage picked us up right outside... ahh... this is why I married him right? :)

p.s. I thought it would be fitting to put some of the songs from our wedding our blog for a while.. enjoy:)

Revelation

Revelation is a local Christian singing group who are all from our church. The group happens to be made up of 2 of my aunts as well. They are an amazing group of ladies, who have been singing together for almost 10 years. This past weekend they asked me to take some new photos of the group. They are having a free concert on October 25th, at New Life Reformed Church.
You can see from these pictures they enjoy their time together:)

Revelation, thank you for all the time you put into your music. You are all SO talented.
Thank you for letting me spend this cold morning with you!
