Two Years Ago Today...

Today Darren and I are celebrating our second wedding anniversary. So much has happened in the short time that we have been married that in some ways it feels like it has been so much longer. But on the other hand, we have stayed so busy that it has really flown by! I am so thankful everyday that we found each other and for the wonderful life that we share.

Walking!!!!

Dakoda has been walking with assistance for quite a while now, and every once in a while could be tricked into taking a few steps on his own. Within the past couple of days, though, he has started getting braver and doing it all by himself!! We are so thrilled, though it is kind of bittersweet for me. My little baby boy is now officially a toddler. :(

Vote!

Darren and I strongly feel that this is one of the most important elections ever, and we hope that everyone that is eligible to vote will get out there and do it on Tuesday. Here is some food for thought, borrowed from a friend's blog...

Chuck Colson states "Ultimately, our loyalty belongs not to any political party or candidate but to God Almighty. And when the time comes, I believe God may ask each of us how we voted and why."

Richard Land states "I encourage people to vote for the candidate at every level who best represents their values and convictions, and then to pray for those in authority over us as required in Scripture."

And here is a good article entitled "Scripture is the Best Voter Guide"

23 weeks already!

Here is a new picture of me and baby girl taken this morning before church. I can't believe that I am already 23 weeks along! This pregnancy has gone by so fast so far, and I know that it will only speed up from here (until the last few weeks, which I know will seem to take f-o-r-e-v-e-r :) ). For those who don't already know, we have decided on a name, which we were originally going to keep a secret, but that didn't work out so well. So our baby girl's name is Sarah Kathleen Norris, and we plan to call her Sarah Kate.
