Joining the club of blogging..

Or at least attempting to. We'll see how long this lasts. After keeping up with Tripp and Laura with their blog, I officially convinced myself I should try it out. Why not, right?! Life can be too entertaining not to share with others. One thing we discussed in children's church a couple weeks ago is when you have joys in life you are to share them.. not keep them to yourselves. The point was to make it clear to children to tell others about the greatest joy, Jesus Christ.


Onto something else.. Jacky and I are approaching our ONE year anniversary, which will be this Sunday (January 16th). Time has flown this past year, but I can say it has been an incredibly unforgettable year. I will go on to tell why later.. We have heard many say that the first year is the hardest. We have decided that if that is a true statement we are doing pretty good! I studied about marriages and families a lot in school, but its quite different when you are experiencing it yourself. I have found it to be an incredible gift from God. He has been incredibly gracious to us over the past year of being married. More gracious than we are deserve, but isn't he always?! This is why our year has been so great and definitely unforgettable..

1. Got married.. :)

2. Joined an incredible church.. which has been so good to us. (Stuart Heights Baptist Church)

3. I (Cayte) got a job working in the children's ministry at church. - Extremely rewarding!
4. Bought a new car.. will be the family car... but no children in the near future. :) 
5. Bought a house!

6. David IV was born.. our newest nephew and such a bundle of joy that I can't get enough of. 

7. Had the worst stomach virus you can imagine on my (Cayte) birthday... But praise Jesus for another one.
8. Spent our first Christmas with our wonderful King family: Big Jacky, Mom, Jacinta, Evan and Evangelina.. AND it was a white Christmas!! Then had Tripp, Laura and Baby David at our house for three wonderful nights! Wonderful, wonderful Christmas!

9. Stood next to three of my closest friends as they married the love of their life: Catherine Garner, Ashley Rice and Rachel Wynne.
10. Started the new year with our wonderful adopted Chattanooga family, the Russells!
11. Spending our ONE year anniversary with a bad case of bronchitis (Cayte) and Jacky a cold.. Needless to say, we had to cancel our anniversary plans. We still plan to enjoy the day in the luxury of our own home with our precious dog, Zoey.. and praising our sweet sweet Jesus for such a wonderful year of marriage!!!

Well folks that is it for our first blog! :)
