My happily ever after

I don’t even know how l will transform this rush of thoughts into words that make sense because I have tears streaming downing my face as I write this. In part they’re tears because I am a sentimental person and something so simple like a scene from a TV show can pull at the depths… Continue reading My happily ever after

Fuel for our marriage

Last year around this same time we took a weekend getaway to Avila Beach and stayed at Sycamore Minerals Springs Hotel. My husband had been saying since October this past year that we needed to find some time to getaway, just the two of us. It’s definitely tough what with the holidays, the girls activities… Continue reading Fuel for our marriage

Husbands, remember your wife.

Long before Legos on the floor, the sound of little feet running through the rooms, laughter from tickles, wipes, tantrums, story time, and diaper changes there was you and her. There were lazy afternoons, dating, long conversations, laughter, and visions of what a home filled with children would be. There was a white dress, wedding… Continue reading Husbands, remember your wife.

If not Jesus, what then?

I woke up with a bit of a heavy heart today. I didn’t feel it though until after I had already dropped off Elysse at my parent’s place and Celeste at school.

Well today… Continue reading No room for grumpy

The good 

Today my husband and I celebrate 7 years of marriage 💞.  Here we are lighting our unity candle.  My husband posted this and three other pictures today, which I’ll share later.  This picture though reminded me of the biggest commitment we made to each other. To be united, together.   We are both such different… Continue reading The good

Marriage – all about seasons 

  At my bridal shower there was a little notebook passed around for my friends and family to write tips and advice for me. I’ll always remember what my then future sis in law Michelle wrote…”You will go through so many different seasons together. There will be times you will be so in sync, everything… Continue reading Marriage – all about seasons

Not leaving things to chance 

 There’s this page I follow on Facebook called Proverbs 31 Ministries that I really enjoy reading. It always seems to touch on a subject close to heart and that I’ve been thinking about, or reading it brings me back to what really matters.  I loved everything about the above post because I too want… Continue reading Not leaving things to chance
