These last four years have been wonderful, seriously the best 4 years of my life. I can't imagine life without being married to Nick. I think the Lord has brought us closer together each year with the new experiences we share. There has been mutual sanctification as well, as we both have been stretched to grow more like Christ in the midst of our marriage. That is our goal, anyway. I appreciate how Nick both leads me well and challenges me in areas I am weak. I admire his relationship with the Lord, and appreciate that he meets with the Lord daily, without exception. He also is very wise in handling our finances...I am grateful for that. Of course, Kathryn adores him, and I have loved watching Nick fill his new role of Dad this year. Only makes me love him more! The Lord really knew what he was doing when He brought Nick into my life as my husband. Nick, I love you so much, and I am so thankful to God for the blessing of our marriage. Happy Anniversary!
Outside the Vanlandingham Estate...you can see a little bit of the beautiful grounds behind us. There was a big garden and a beautiful pond with a waterfall....definitely didn't feel like we were in the middle of the city!
Nick is sitting on a bench on the right...this gives you an idea of the landscape.
Off to our date for some delicious dinner
The Vanlandingham Estate
Here's one of the aisles of the used book store...it was two whole rooms filled with rows like these. I got a cookbook, a mystery novel, and several books for Kathryn. Nick got a complete book of Sherlock Holmes Mysteries and a few other things that I can't remember at the moment. :)

Happy Anniversary a few days late :) You guys are the most wonderful friends in the world and we love you so much. You two are also incredible examples to all who observe your marriage! And despite how overwhelmed I seemed when you came home, I really, really LOVED having Kathryn :)I've only been gone for two days and I miss you all already!!! Love you!
Beautiful place! Good place to keep in mind for the future! Lots of anniversaries lately, ours is coming up too, July 1st!
What a sweet time Rebecca! All those rows of books make my eyes swim! I can't imagine looking through them all:)
Congratulations to you both! God's favor is definitely on your lives!
The Andersons miss you guys!

Sounds like a great anniversary trip! I know that Mom and Dad really like that bed and breakfast as well. Mom and I have taken a couple of trips to what I think is the same used bookstore...it really is a great one! I'm glad you found it.
You too look so beautiful and happy together! I'm so happy for you!
