Anniversary Date

We've never really had a "perfect situation" for an anniversary date but at the same time, I wouldn't want it any differently :) The other years we had things going on but we celebrated before or after the fact, but this year we looked at the date and looked when Aaron had his last HUGE final for the summer...yep, you got it...July 23 meaning July 22 would be his big study night :) If there is one thing I have learned in marriage it is flexibility is KEY and you HAVE to make the most out of every opportunity!
That morning we got our mail to discover our realtor had sent us an Olive Garden gift certificate as a thank you for working with him! Woah! Guess where we ate? Uh huh, got it again...our fave place Olive Garden :)
After our early supper, we got home and Aaron and I started the studying :) 4 hours later of quality time talking about microbiology and we ended our "anniversary date" Haha...it really was a really fun anniversary :)
I suppose you could say that the real celebration was Aaron taking his last final and receiving amazing news last night that he had gotten an "A" in the class! :) He took two incredibly hard classes this summer and we have heard that they are the "deciding classes" if you will get into the Nursing program or not. We are so thankful that he received an "A" in both the classes! Thank you, Lord!

This morning, I was thinking about how encouraging this news was and how "we're for sure going to be able to stay in Mankato" and "Aaron will for sure get into the Nursing Program". I was hit hard as I was saying these "for sure" things as we never know "for sure" what will happen in life.

This week I have been reminded about that SO much as we received word that one of our dear friends from Cherokee was experiencing severe dizziness and they found a tumor on his brain. We don't know all the details but we are praying SO diligently for Bobby, Jenna, and their two little kids in this situation. If you could lift our dear friends up to the Lord with us, I know they would greatly appreciate it!

We never know what is going to happen in our life but the "for sure" thing I am holding onto today is that God IS faithful and He IS good. And that is all the "for sure" things I need to know right now.
