The Reutter's (Roy-ter's).  That is what we became on this day a year ago.  How fitting that a year later, we not only get to celebrate our love but also Christ's love for us on this Easter Sunday.  It's a great day of celebrations :)   One of my favorite things about our wedding day was all of the little personal touches that made the wedding "us."  This relationship timeline, that was tucked in every dinner napkin, was just one of those touches.  In honor of our one-year anniversary, I thought we'd check it out again and take a walk down memory lane.  If you don't already know our story, here it is an a snapshot.   Photos by Leslie Roark Photography Happy anniversary, Jon!  Thank you for a great year!   I love you,

We are all packed up and ready to head out to Kansas City to celebrate our 1-year anniversary!  I can't believe it's already been a year.  Seriously, it all went by in a flash!  I'm bring our wedding video and of course the top layer of our cake (the hotel said they'd keep it in their refrigerator for us) with us this weekend.  I watched a snippet of the wedding video yesterday and got teary-eyed.  What a special day it was!  I'm so thankful to all who celebrated with us and for us.  It was a beautiful day, rain clouds and all :) Jon and I are truly blessed-especially with each other.  I can't thank God enough for bringing this man into my life. Kansas City, here we come!  

For those of you who don't know, Jon and I will be moving out of Enid by September, possibly even as early as July depending on his next job.  With moving and relocation costs less than 6 months away, we thought it would be best to scale back our original plan of an extravagant 1-year anniversary trip, for one that will be more practical for us at the moment. Aside from our upcoming move being a factor, we also wanted to finally capitalize on our surroundings.  We always talk about how we should take advantage of the places that are within driving distance of us while we're here.  So after doing a fair amount of research, we've decided to spend our 1-year anniversary in (drumroll please.....)  Kansas City, MO! At first, you might only think of barbecue, but let me tell you, this place has way more to offer than just that!  With more boulevards than any other city in the world besides Paris, it has been deemed the "Paris of the Plains."  Kansas City is ...
