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

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. Since I was on such a roll with the dancing I decided to up the ante by signing up for their studio show in… Continue reading Ballroom Love Story Continued…

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

“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”

“The Me I Want To Be”

Not too long ago I wrote in a post that there are so many blessings in my life that I’m thankful to God for and also that I had this feeling there is something more that God created me to be but I haven’t quite figured it all out yet because it’s a growing process. Then I heard at our Church that… Continue reading “The Me I Want To Be”

Thankful For This Moment

What a cute site we must be. My husband and I are relaxing on the couch with our boy Biggie snuggled in between us. I was reviewing for my midterm while my husband and Biggie nap and decided to take a break and take in everything around me. Outside in our little patio there are… Continue reading Thankful For This Moment

Why I Love February, Plus Other Life Events

February is one of my favorite months and not just because it’s my birthday month but because there are so many other celebrations that come rolling in, one right after the other, after Valentine’s Day. For starters on the 16th my parents celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. My parents have been through so many hurdles and happy moments during all these years and… Continue reading Why I Love February, Plus Other Life Events

Marriage, Life, Babies, Happiness

This past weekend I was at a little kid’s birthday party and I saw a lady there that I remembered talking with briefly the year before. As we were all singing and laughing while the kids were hitting the Piñata the lady asked me if we had any kids yet and I said no not yet. She gave me such a… Continue reading Marriage, Life, Babies, Happiness
