Happy Moments and Trees

Celeste had her very first play date today and even though it was the first time she went to my friend’s house she completely made herself at home and was crawling around everywhere like she owned the place. I loved that she got to play with the babies/kiddos and us girls got to get some… Continue reading Happy Moments and Trees

Heart of a Champion

This one is very dear and close to my heart, and being the sentimental gal that I am, I can’t help but get a bit choked up and teary eyed as I begin to write this. Today is my husband’s birthday, not only is he celebrating his 35th, but today is also the second phase… Continue reading Heart of a Champion

Ballroom Love Story Continued…

So there I was, February 28th, 2006 and working up a sweat at the dance studio while practicing my dance show number with my instructor. Yes, I said dance show number.

Lasting Love

I’m reading a wonderful book by Ravi Zacharias called I, Isaac, take thee, Rebekah, which is about “moving from Romance to Lasting Love”. I actually ordered this book about a month and a half or so after our baby was born (she’s now 4 months) because in my sleep deprived and overwhelmed state, my mind was… Continue reading Lasting Love

For me this has always been one of the best ways to start off my day. I love when it’s dark in the… Continue reading Love is in the little things

“Love is a verb”

There’s so many things that I took away with me this weekend from our marriage retreat, most importantly that we can’t do it alone, that it’s important to have God guide us and be an essential part of our relationship and also that “love is a verb”. This “love is a verb” comes from Andy Stanley’s… Continue reading “Love is a verb”

Time for some TLC

Celebrate February, Celebrate Love!

I LOVE this month, and no not just because it’s my birthday this month, although that’s one reason to love February, and also not because it’s Valentine’s Day either. I love February because there’s so many special occasions and anniversaries in this month. And because it’s my birthday month, haha! 😉 My husband proposed on… Continue reading Celebrate February, Celebrate Love!

Butter To My Bread

This post is for my husband. I was watching the movie Julie and Julia the other day, well at least parts of it here and there because it’s a lot harder to watch a full movie now that we have a little baby. One of my favorite lines of the entire movie was something that Paul Child said… Continue reading Butter To My Bread
