I know I said last week was going to be wedding week in honor of our first anniversary, but I was just a little bit busy last week and this past weekend, too. At least it was a great week and weekend! I will continue the wedding posts at some point, maybe this week, maybe just randomly until I'm done with them. So keep your eyes open for those posts if you're interested!
Yesterday was wonderful. We had to wake up dark and early to go and play the praise music at our church's SonRise service. We had to be at Point Lookout State Park at 5:30 yesterday morning and since it's a 30 min drive we had to be up by 4:30 and leave at 5am. Not so fun but we were so excited it actually wasn't too bad. And the best part, as we were driving by the water we could see light peeking up over the horizon across the bay. It was simply beautiful. The service was extremely meaningful and Collin and I actually sang our first duet together. We sang "How Great is the Love" by Paul Baloche. If you've never heard that song, please look it up. It's on his Glorious cd. I'm going to post the lyrics at the bottom of this post. It gives me goosebumps. It's the perfect Easter song! We also had to play the praise music at our church's 9:30 worship service as we normally do. Another wonderful and very meaningful service. I was very emotional yesterday just thinking about the wonderful resurrection of my Lord and Savior and what that means for me today. How incredible!!
After we had lunch at my aunt's house we ended up going home and taking a nap and then heading over to Solomon's Island to celebrate our anniversary just the two of us. We walked up and down the boardwalk and got some soft serve ice cream. It was so nice just to walk along the river hand in hand with my husband and enjoy the beautiful weather. It was such a perfect evening and I'm very glad we went. It may not have been a big anniversary celebration but it was perfect. This has been such a fantastic first year of marriage and I'm so excited for many, many more years with my wonderful husband. God sure did bless me with such an incredible man.

P.S. As I said here are the lyrics to "How Great is the Love".
How You love us
Thank You for the way You have made us
We were created
For Your pleasure, for Your presence
For the glory of Your name
Thank You for the way that You love us
Jesus, faithful King
Lord, with grateful hearts we sing
How great is the love
How great is the love
Of our Savior
The weight of the cross, the curse of our shame
You carried it all and rose from the grave
How great is the love, how great is the love
Of our Savior
Thank You for Your grace that has saved us
You forgave us
Thank You for the way You have freed us
We have been ransomed
We've been rescued, we've been purchased
With the price of Your own life
Thank You for the way that You love us
Jesus, faithful King
Lord, with grateful hearts we sing
How great is the love
How great is the love
Of our Savior
The weight of the cross, the curse of our shame
You carried it all and rose from the grave
How great is the love, how great is the love
Of our Savior
Thank You for the way that You love us
How You love us
Jesus, faithful King
Lord, with grateful hearts we sing
How great is the love
How great is the love
Of our Savior
The weight of the cross, the curse of our shame
You carried it all and rose from the grave
How great is the love, how great is the love
Of our Savior
