Smilebox Sunday

We have safely returned from Cancun, Mexico! We had a really incredible time there! Instead of blogging away, I figured a Smilebox Sunday would be the perfect excuse to share our trip with you all! We are so thankful that God blessed us with the experiences and time that we had together while we were away. Enjoy!

Lazy Day


Our sweet Heidi dog is so so moppy and so so lazy these days! An update from the Maholland world would be nice for some of you I'm sure! Today we are out and about packing, buying sunscreen, cleaning the house, doing laundry, making sure everything is squared away for our trip, and enjoying each other. I love my family, and I love my life. I can't wait to kick off Year Two with the best husband ever! Who knows what God has in store for us this year! He has truly blessed us beyond belief this year! We will talk to you all when we return to the mainland and when we are all nice and tan! Adios Amigos!!!

Delayed Gratifiation Is A Sweet Thing

On April 15, 6 years ago I recieived a very special Honda Civic. It was the perfect car to drive to high school in everday. I always felt so "cool" in it. As the years went on...and on...and on...and on...the car got older, smaller, and even smaller. For the past few years I have looked at SUV's, test drove many, but never made any decisions. John and I knew that my car wasn't going to last much longer. We didn't feel safe or comfortable in the thing, and we needed something with more room and more power. We have been praying for me an SUV for about 6 months now and we had no idea that God would show His Greatness once more in our marriage. We found this Yukon from a personal owner that we know very well. It has EVERYTHING that BOTH of us want in a vehicle and it have TONS of room! It is exactly what we wanted and what we were praying for! Within a week of posting my precious Civic on craigslist it sold for a great price. We went yesterday to pick up my precious Yukon! Here she is! God is so, so good!

Smilebox Sunday

This particular Smilebox Sunday is very special to us. Our one year anniversary is quickly approaching. God has blessed us more than we ever could have imagined and we are forever thankful for all He has done for us. We wouldn't be where we are or who we are today if it weren't for Him. This whole month we are enjoying the celebration of our first year. We are reflecting, loving, and spending special time together. We are trying new things and learning more and more about one another. We love each other more and more everyday. We wanted to take this chance to share with you our first year married. Enjoy our memories, moments, and blessings from our first year!

A Water Type of Day

Yesterday a great friend of mine, Leslie and I traveled to my friends house for a swim. It was the most perfect day to enjoy the water! It was a bit cold, but we adjusted quickly! We had a great visit and really enjoyed relaxing. Afterwards I came home to clean and detail my car. I guess you could say that Heidi helped. What do you think? She was halarious with the hose pipe (and yes, I just said that!) She would jump into it and splash and then dig dig dig until she could drink the water out of it. I tried to get a video but there was a lot going on and a lot of laughing that I just figured the pictures would do! Anways, back to the car cleaning. I detailed my car yesterday because we are trying to sale it. We found an SUV for me that is a great deal and we are going to buy it within the next few weeks! I am so excited and God is so amazing and so good to bless us with this! It literally fell into our laps! We have been praying for a car for me for a long time. Nothing is wrong with mine, but I just want something bigger and something to eventually put a family in. Once we found this, we couldn't pass it up! After we prayed over it for a few days, we decided that this was a good decision to buy. We are so excited about it! So, if any of you bloggers out there know of someone looking for a little honda civic let us know! We would be more than happy to let any of you come check it out!
