Our Top 10 in 2 Months!

As we celebrate our 2 months of being married, we want to share with you the Top 10 things that have happened since we've been The Stroups.

10. Zack has been studying, very, very, very hard for the Series 7 to be a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones.

9. Trip to Kansas City to celebrate our wedding with many great Kansas friends. We enjoyed a wonderful reception in the Portell backyard with both of our parents.

8. We carved our first pumpkin.


7. We bought a new couch, and got rid of Larry (our old couch).

Goodbye Larry :(

Hello new couch :)

6. Roadtrip to St. Louis to see Brittany Portell perform in a Regional Band Competition playing her Tenor Drums. She Rocked!

5. We welcomed home our Best Man's first child from Guatemala. We're so glad to have Lindsy back and Eliana at home in Nashville.

4. We joined our first Young Married Community Group hosted by the McKelvy family.

3. Going on our first camping trip to Edgar Evans State Park on Center Hill Lake. We enjoyed a beautiful 8 mile hike, and refreshing swim in the lake.

2. We enjoyed a little extra wedding cake when returning from our honeymoon.


1. We spent over 72 hours transfering all of our personal IDs to prove we are The Stroups and live at 5878 Brentwood Trace, Brentwood, TN, 37027.

Honeymoon

The Secret is out...We spend a great week of celebration and relaxation in St. Lucia. Thanks be to God we were hurricane free for 7 days!

The life of Zack and Paige

It's been a while since an update from the Stroup family! Getting married can really take a hold of your life. We are now settled down and getting in the routine of things (whatever that looks like). We wanted to share a few wedding pics with you from our big day.

Zack and Paige's Family Mission Statement

Friends and Family,

I want to share with you Paige and my Family Mission Statement.

This weekend when Paige and I are married we will make this commitment to God, ourselves and you.

Our commitment is … Loving God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength as we love each other in our words and actions. As one we will joyfully pursue his holiness making his glory known in our home and community.

This is what we are about. Our marriage is for the Glory of God.
