It's been an unbelievably long time since I've written anything here, and it's been an eventful year! First of all, Derek and I got married on May 5th, 2108! It was a beautiful, small wedding, with lots of our family and friends. As crazy as it sounds, and even after 5 years of practice, I HAVE A SON! AJ is officially my stepson, and I couldn't be happier about it. It still sounds odd saying it out loud, but I celebrated my first mother's day this year, complete with a phone call from AJ. We followed the wedding up with a week-long honeymoon in Myrtle Beach, SC. Our condo was comically janky, but it was also a miniscule 50ft from the beach! We spent our time exploring the local attractions (the Ripley's Aquarium, the Odditorium, and the Sky Wheel for starters!), eating (the food, omg. If you're in the area, make sure you go to Friendly's and Peaches Diner on the strip!), and enjoying our time away from the day to day stress. Derek's started up his own lawn care business and I'm happy to say we FINALLY have two vehicles! Meanwhile, I'm still working for the mortgage company, and cleaning the offices twice a week. In addition to my involvement with the Freedom Warriors Prison Ministries, I've also started filling in on Thursdays at the Celebrate Recovery program! I love it. I love the fellowship and knowing that God has used me to make even the smallest difference in even one of these guys' lives!
Glad to be back!
LOVE,
THE NEW MRS. TROY!
