Christmas Card from Aaron and Britt



Gila Wilderness in New Mexico

Dear beloved friends and family,
We hope this letter finds you filled with joy and peace as we all
approach the beginning of a new year! We are so thankful to rejoice in the
Christmas season with you all! Just over a year ago, Aaron and I exchanged vows, danced with hoola-hoops, and celebrated the beginning of our life together as husband and wife. We have learned so much about each other, ourselves, the beauty of God, and the world around us. As we continue to learn and grow by the grace of God, we are so thankful for all of your guidance and love toward us. Thank you for being a part of our lives! Blessings and love from Antarctica this Christmas season!
