Our First Year of Marriage

Wow, a lot has happened over this past year! We got married, moved and started new jobs and school. It has been such a wonderful time though and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Since we are celebrating our 1 Year Anniversary today, I thought it would be fun to think of highlights from each month of this first year of marriage. Enjoy!

January 8, 2011 - Our Wedding! Though it was quick, we couldn't have been happier with the way it all came together! 

 



February - we enjoyed Krewe Du Vieux with our friends the Avrards! 
 



March - I drove to Charlottesville, VA to meet my new nephew, Cole. Also, I got to see Katherine & Jay and their Chick-fil-a in Waynesboro
 
 



 April - Easter weekend, our original wedding weekend, took Aaron and I to Denver to interview for what would become his job teaching 5th & 6th grade!






May - we celebrated Aaron's 27th birthday! We made the trip back to Colorado to watch Alex graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder. 






 June - we traveled to Virginia to celebrate Cori & Rebecca's wedding and see that sweet nephew of mine! 





July  - we went all the way across to California. We were married again in Aaron's home church and spent a few days in San Francisco! 


We also packed up all our stuff and moved to Colorado! 




August - we found an apartment and I started trying to make it a home 

 


October - we celebrated the birth of our niece, Hellen Irene Adoko! We went to Breckenridge for a school retreat and watched lots of Clemson football! 






November - we finally got back to New Orleans to celebrate Kurt & Becca's wedding! And, I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for all the Schultzes!





December - back to the east coast for Christmas! 

Phew, wow. This year has been one of the most fun, most challenging, most joyful and most rewarding of my life. I couldn't thank God enough for a great husband, fabulous friends in New Orleans, amazing provisions in work and friends here in Colorado and the blessing to have people in so many parts of the country to visit! We're praying for more of the same for 2012, hopefully with more visits to those friends!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
