{iPhone Rewind} :: January

Because I do {A Year in Review}, I decided not to do an {iPhone Rewind} for December. Plus, let's be honest- December was a bit crazy. But never fear...we're back at it for January! :)

Mike officiated a former student's wedding, so we got to enjoy a fun date night out.

We also had our first Celebration Gathering for our home church...such an exciting time for a church plant!

My parents had given me a gift card to NY&Company for Christmas, and I was finally able to use it. I was so excited about the deals I got- nothing over $10!

I got to go wedding dress shopping with Laura, which was OH SO FUN :)

My new DSLR camera arrived, which was SO exciting! I haven't had a ton of time to play with it, but what little time I have spent tinkering with it has been really fun.

We had a random snow day where we had a good 2-3 inches that stuck for a couple of days...and then it went back up into the 70s. Gotta love Texas :)

 

Usually in the mornings, I feed Sasha and she heads back to sleep in her kennel. But lately, she has taken to joining me in the bathroom while I get ready...she's my "getting ready in the morning" buddy! :)

 

Mike and I have been walking through some of the pieces of the residency by meeting with varying people at CF. The first piece is Prepare & Enrich; I am happy to announce that we are a "harmonious couple" - we just have to work on communication :)

 

The second piece is the SOI (Styles of Influence). Mike is a Persuader, and I am a Specialist. It has been interesting to see how our different personalities and communication styles affect our relationship dynamics.

 

I got my first Birthday present from my sweet mother-in-law! :)
