My wife Jessica & I celebrated our 2 year anniversary this past monday by enjoying a quick trip to Newport, RI. The goal of the trip — Dream Building.

We’ve started to make this somewhat of a tradition now. Taking a few days over our anniversary to just get away.
Newport is especially great because of the old-town feel, and great food (The clam pizza at the RI Quahog Co. is amazing). The massive newport mansions don’t hurt either. It’s so incredible to see the amazing detail that they put into these houses, and to think Rosecliff sold for only $21,000 in 1938.
This year was slightly different — it was Eli’s first “long” car ride. This little guy has got to be the best kid ever. He was so good for the 6 1/2 hour ride.
Overall, a great trip. Highly recommended!

As I mentioned in A step of Faith, June marks the anniversary of many milestones, and tomorrow, June 2nd, is one that has truly changed my life.
“Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends”
Two years ago I became one with the most amazing person in the world. She is beautiful and caring, honest and loving, a wonderful mother to our child, and absolutely perfect for me. Thank you Jessica for being my completer.
Last year for our anniversary we decided to go to Newport, RI on a whim and are continuing that tradition tomorrow. It’s such a wonderful time to just get away and enjoy God’s amazing creation.
See you all in a few days!

A dream that my wife and I have had for some time has been to travel often. This blog plays a part in helping achieve those dreams, and today we decided that a trip to Germany was in order.

- Hamburg, Germany
We have both been over seas before, but not for quite some time. Jess received an email the other day from an old high school friend who will be getting married in Germany next spring. We have our “reason”. Now we just need the means. Our goal is to be able to spend a month in Germany with our friends while working 3-4 hours a day.
Most of our time will be spent in the Hamburg area, but would love to hear from any of you on some other wonderful places to visit. Let’s hear what you’ve got!
