Nine Years and Counting...

Today is our 9th wedding anniversary. I feel like this year has been transformational for us. Not in the sense where there was one big "wow" moment that changed us. It was in the everyday moments and choices that shaped who we are becoming as a couple, as individuals and as a family. Here's a few of my favorite highlights...

• Started to take bi-yearly getaways (just the two of us) for reflection, goal setting and pure gluttony (movie watching, junk food eating, etc)
  
• Took risks to pursue our calling - Turned down more secure jobs and started MyOhai and Open Hand Initiative
• Lived in our means - Sold our 2004 Accord for a 2000 Volvo (yep, it's a wagon) and traded cable for a Netflix Roku Box (saved us $300/month)

• Discovering and living in our strengths - Took StrengthFinders and started meeting with Walter Sawatzky, an amazing life coach
  
• Developed a routine that works for us (Scott get June ready M-Th, I get her ready F-Su)
• Implementing "Family Night Outs" - This is June's first carousel ride

• Being committed to our community at Salford Mennonite Church. They have been a solid ground for us to grow. We appreciate and love them.

May you too take time to reflect, be thankful for what has shaped you, and be inspired to change in whatever ways you dream possible.
