Up to speed...

After being married for almost 8 months, we've finally been pulled into the world of blogging. It's been neat to be able to keep up with Joe and Hannah despite there traveling quest over the past year. Even though we haven't been on a traveling quest around the world (yet), we thought we would begin to "blog" about this new season of life we embarked on just a few months ago. So much has happened in the past months but we will try to summarize everything up till now.





On August 11th, 2007 our journey began when we exchanged our vows in front of so many wonderful family and friends in Knoxville, TN. We were so blessed with a beautiful wedding and a nice, relaxing honeymoon.


After returning from the honeymoon, we have come to reside in Augusta, GA, home of the Masters. We both attend the Medical College of Georgia where Natalie is earning her Masters degree in Occupational Therapy and Paul is earning his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. The move from Birmingham has been difficult. We left behind so many great friends and a community we had grown to truly love. However, despite the tough move, God has provided us with a great group of new friends and so many other blessings in these first months of marriage. We continue to stay busy juggling the demands of graduate school with our new roles as husband and wife.

We also managed to squeeze in becoming a new aunt and uncle in the meantime with the addition of baby Matthew born to Michael and Jessica on June 25th, 2007. We look forward to watching him grow up and of course (Paul) trying to make a golfer out of him along the way.



Throughout the grinds of school, we have been able to spend our first holidays together as a married couple. We carved our first pumpkin together and even managed to put up our first Christmas tree in our new house in Augusta.
We are truly blessed and look forward to sharing more.
Until next time......
