tradition.

i love traditions. they are something to look forward to in different seasons of each year. one of ours that we started our first year of dating is writing in a journal together at the start of each new year. we start off by telling a story in both of our perspectives that we want to remember later on. it usually signifies a big event from our year. year one it was how we met, year two was our wedding day, year three was my experience in culinary school, year four was losing and finding marlow, and year five was the pregnancy and birth of our daughter. we record random memories that we don't want to forget, then make a list of dreams/goals for the next year. it is a very special time of reflection for us where we can look back and see how God provided perfectly. it has chronicled our marriage. and i'm pretty sure it'd be one of the first things to grab if our house was burning down. besides marlow, of course. oops! and vera. and chris. :)
