Last Saturday, I married the love of my life. As the wedding was drawing closer, I kept thinking back on how much my life had changed in a year. At the time I was a little too busy to put my thoughts into words. As things have settled down (hah!), I wanted to organize my thoughts and put pen to paper, so to speak.
Early in August, 2010, I was just starting to realize that I really liked Alecia and that I wanted to date her. Today, I'm married to her.
Last year, Chris and Cordelia were engaged and living with me. Today, they're happily married and living on their own in Greenfield.
Last year, my house was cluttered, my fence and carport were falling down and my central air wasn't working. Today, the fence & carport are gone. The house is clean and every surface in it has been refinished or repainted. Both bathrooms have been gutted and rebuilt. We have a completely new heating and cooling system and the window in the back of the house that was rotting apart has been replaced. We have plans for a garage, fence, new windows, new kitchen, etc.
Most importantly, last year, I was attending a church, but didn't belong. I believed in God, but didn't know God. Today, I'm a member of First Christian Church. I have given my life to Christ and I'm excited to be involved. We are planning to join our church's mission trip to Swaziland next summer. And Alecia has gone back to school to get her Masters of Divinity from Christian Theological Seminary.
What a difference a year can make!
