My husband and I have been married for exactly 18 months and it has been incredible! Each day I learn more and more about myself, my husband, and what it means to truly love someone. It's even taught me more about what it means to follow Christ and be his bride. What a cool picture.
We're really lucky to have several married friends that we can hang out with as couples! My husband and I didn't double date much before we were married, but since our wedding we've seemed to connect with several other married couples that we can hang out with, laugh with, and encourage.
We had already made plans to host some of our friends over on Sunday for dinner, before we realized that it would be Cinco de Mayo. We're always looking for reasons to celebrate, so we decided to host a Mexican fiesta!
