A year ago today

Well, it's been one year since Lisa walked down the aisle to meet me on the grounds of the McNay Museum only to walk back up the aisle as Mrs. Bryce Waller. It's been a rich year of joy, learning, and growing. After a year, here are a few things we've learned about marriage and each
other:

  • Always communicate
  • Take days off (more for Bryce than Lisa!)
  • Continue to date each other, surprise each other, and keep things exciting
  • Marriage means being a team
  • The gospel is the only thing that produces real change
We were able to celebrate these few things as well as many more this past week in Florida. What a wonderful anniversary vacation (thank you, Pam and Larry for the condo!!). From biking in Seaside, to reading on the beach, to playing in the ocean...our time in Destin, FL was so relaxing, and much needed after a crazy summer.

Here is only one of the many amazing scenes we saw on our bike ride through Seaside and Grayton Beach. We enjoyed lunch at a great place called The Red Bar, and celebrated our anniversary at
a great restaurant called Bud and Alley's. What a night to remember!

Now that we're back in Escondido, we're preparing for the school year to start(now this is Lis writing...new teacher orientation starts tomorrow! fyi: sfcs offered me the position of co-ASB director and 7th/8th grade language arts teacher...i humbly accepted! thank you for your prayers!!). As I write this, Bryce is preparing a wonderful dinner for us to celebrate one more time the gift God gave us in each other, and I must go join him.

Goodbye to our wonderful vacation and summer...

When Bryce walked (oh when Bryce walked)
I said when Bryce walked (oh when Bryce walked)
He walked Lisa home to stay.
