I've been married for two years

It's hard to believe in some ways that Anna and I have been married for two years now, but in other ways it certainly seems possible. I was way behind on editing some pics that we took from Ocean Isle Beach, NC where we went for a short getaway on our anniversary. We stayed at a really cool place called the Islander Inn where you could "Create Your Own Rate" on their website. We offered a lower price and got countered and ended up with a really great deal for a room right on the beach. Anna and I love going to the beach together, although I am much more adventurous with going out into the ocean than she is. She prefers to stay right near the coastline, while I will venture out past the point where I can feel the bottom. I got a new board while we were there which I never got to try out, but we're thinking of heading down there this weekend with the family, so hopefully I'll get to try it out then.

A few pictures from the occasion ..

We've been doing well otherwise. I haven't been blogging as much lately, and I'm no longer blogging over at Xanga .. there's several factors - xanga doesn't seem to get trafficked as much these days, I don't like that I can't archive it whenever I want unless I have premium, and a few other things. I will always hold a special place in my heart though, since it's how Anna and I met each other!

I'm so grateful to God each day that he continues to provide work for our website and photography business. Without getting worried about where the next work will come from, he is always faithful to bring more in just at the right time and the right amounts. I've come to realize more and more each day how all we need do is desire in our hearts to walk as closely to Him as we can, and he will take care of providing for our needs. He's always faithful. We're working with several local businesses on new websites, and have started a new high school senior portrait program that we are hoping will generate lots of interest. Plus being able to work from home every day with your best friend is a definite HUGE plus!
