Day 1

Today's picture is a picture of baby Lincoln (Carrington's son) at his Uncle Matt's softball tournament. Lincoln came with Carrington and my mom to support Matt. I am so thankful that both mine and Matt's family are so supportive of us as we move forward in life. It could be something as simple as matt's softball, my starting this blog, or to something bigger such as careers or our future marriage. You hear horror stories of in-laws or future families not getting along. Matt and I are so blessed that our families get along and we fit in so well with each others family. We can look forward to many family get togethers with both sides of the family, something that growing up I didn't get the blessing of sharing in.

Baby Linc didn't get to watch his Uncle Matt play because the atmosphere isn't all that suitable for children. This led me to another chance to thank God. Seeing these grown men who were drinking and using language that was worse than a sailors made me so thankful that I am marrying a man who is classy but more than that living a life that points to Christ. Matt in these situations is a great example of being in the world but not of it. Though he is in the tournament (Thankfully with a team who is about playing softball not drinking or having bad attitudes) he doesn't take part in the "extra" stuff that these tournaments sometimes have. He is given an opportunity to be different and through that difference shine the light of Christ. I am so thankful that God has brought this man into my life and that I get to spend the rest of my life with him.
