On Monday, Dylan and I celebrated our one month anniversary...crazy! It seems like forever long ago that we got married and honestly that day is a little blurry in my memory. Hard to believe it actually happened but so glad it did!
We didn't do anything really special due to the fact that I had a fresh cold so we just enjoyed the day off and did some shopping a little later in the day. We do have a very special one month anniversary gift from God though :).....we're gonna have a baby!!! Yep! I'm currently a little over four weeks pregnant with this little one due in late January! We're so excited and so thankful for this blessing! God has been so good to us!!
For those of you wondering if we meant to have a baby so soon, I'm here to put you at ease :). No, we weren't "planning" on having a baby but we were content with God's timing, whether that was now or years from now. The Lord is the one who opens and closes the womb so who are we to try and control it? Dylan and I believe children are a gift and an inheritance from the Lord (Psalm 127-128) and we're so honored to have been trusted to raise this precious life! Please understand this is a personal conviction for our family and is not meant to judge any other family's decision regarding this area.
That being said, I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am!! For as long as I can remember I've dreamed of being a wife and a mom and the Lord has so graciously given me the desires of my heart...wow!! I shall try to keep you all posted on this pregnancy and whatever else our life may hold together!
Hopefully next time I'll have some pictures too :)!

Hi Hannah! I have never commented before, but have read your blog off and on for a while now! It is always encouraging to see other young ladies following the LORD and his ways! Congratulations on your recent marriage and now the blessing of a baby on the way! It is beautiful to see young couples excepting children from the Lord when He decides to give them! Because children are ALWAYS a blessing!
