Anniversary Update

So we had a wonderful time together celebrating our 6 years together. It was our first anniversary that fell on the actual day of our wedding (Saturday). David took me to dinner at the restaurant where we had our wedding reception. After dinner we walked around the hotel. Walked in the ballroom and by the room where we stayed the first night. The hotel didn't have that room available so we went out for ice cream instead! Today would have been our full day of travel to Acapulco, Mexico. We were recounting God's faithfulnes through these past 6 years and seeing God's grace at work in us in how much we have both changed since then. We had a great time together!

Oh and thanks for all the ideas. I ended up finding the card that I gave him the morning of our wedding so I gave it to him again to recount that day!

6 Years Ago

Well, 6 years ago tonight. David and I were at our Rehearsal Dinner, spending our last nights as singles and so thrilled for our marriage to begin the next day. Little did we know how much we would really enjoy it.

I'm trying to think of something to do for David at the last minute. We had planned to go away just the two of us, but with the purchase of a new home we decided a new house was a present for both of us. So now we are down to the wire and I don't have a clue what to do. I have an idea or two but that is it. Any tips?

I've been thinking about all that we've done together in these past 6 years. Here are some of the highlights.
+ We've had three beautiful little girls during the last four 4 years.
+ We've lived in 3 different cities, next month will be the fourth.
+ We've lived in 5 different houses/apartments, next month will be the sixth.
and
+ We've purchased 2 new cars.

So, I am more in love with David then I ever thought possible. And I have such anticipation for the years to come.

Brooklyn's on the MOVE too!

Okay, so when you know your last baby is doing "baby" things for the first or last time you get excited but kind of sad as well. Brooklyn has officially started the army crawl and even sat up all by herself yesterday! She is getting up on her knees and doing that really cute rocking back and forth. I'll try to get it on video. She is growing and changing so fast. I continue to pray that I will enjoy every minute of this season!

The Traugott's are on the MOVE...

Well, this past weekend David and I put a contract on a new home in Winter Garden!!!!! Grace Church has offices in Winter Garden and has just gotten a piece of property in Winter Garden as well! The plan right now is to keep our house in Clermont as an investment and rent it out. But the best part is that our new house is in the same neighborhood as my mom and dad. Just around the corner, and you technically only pass 8 houses! It is right down the street from the play ground and a short walk to the lake. If everything continues as planned we will close on August 22nd! I'll post pictures next week, after the home inspection. Pray for us that everything will work out smoothly and for packing up and for securing tenants. If you know of anyone who needs a house to rent, let us know!

Girls will be girls

Well, I suppose some girly things start early, but I would have never anticipated my girls enjoying going to a salon to get their hair cut. They had so much fun! Got their hair washed, cut, and blown dry. They sat still for the whole thing!
