Maggie Grace McCoun

Today is Maggie's 1st birthday ever!! 1 year ago today I was taking a walk around the Furman lake when I got a call...today was the day! When should I head to the hospital? What was Emily going through!?!?!

I rushed to the hospital hoping to meet little maggie soon! I waited anxiously in the waiting area with my camera ready and a little gift for Maggie and Em (a headband for maggie and nail polish for Em!) And mom and dad and Kasey arrived. We waited....and the McCoun family arrived. And waited some more!! I was getting so nervous! Finally we got to see them!!! When we entered the room, my first concern was Emily!! What a relief..she made it. Then I got to meet little Mags :)

happy birthday little peanut! I love being an aunt to this little bundle of joy!

marriage

Well, I've been married for almost 6 months now!! Half a year. This time last year, Daniel & I had just started going on dates...we had our first convo about marriage sometime around the beginning of September. I feel kinda guilty being the typical sappy newlywed, writing about how much I love being married, etc etc etc. Which is true! I honestly think that this is my favorite time in life ever. But one of the hardest. I have never been so deeply aware of my own sin in my entire life. Never have I experienced the level of exposure I have experienced in the past 6 months! Can you imagine someone following you around with a video camera? And getting to watch you in your best and worst moments, captured on film? Well, someone knows that much about me and I can't hide it anymore: I am a big sinner. But, this is the sweetest season God has given me. I am seriously married to my best friend! Of course every wife thinks her husband is the most awesome man in the world, and I am the same :) Im convinced I have the best husband in the world!
