Two And A Half Years

Harris Shoals

So today marks the two and half year anniversary of when Marilisa and I started dating - July 31st, 2008. It's amazing to think back to that time and all that God has done in our lives since then. The day I asked her to be my girlfriend came after the best summer of our lives, spent working as counselors at The Swamp, a Christian summer camp for kids 9-18. I asked her at Harris Shoals park (pictured above) in Watkinsville Ga, one of my favorite parks in the area and a place that has become very special to both of us. Through the last couple years we've made some amazing memories together at concerts, parks, and restaurants but many of our best memories have been simply sitting and talking on her front steps or going for a long drive together. We've learned so much about ourselves and each other these last couple years, but one thing in particular we've learned is to enjoy the simple moments of life and the company of best friends. I am incredibly grateful that we've been together this long and look forward to having a new anniversary to remember in a few months!

"You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you."
