Thanks...
Thankful that I am 30. Why shouldn't I be? What an amazing thing. People didn't use to live this long in the past. I can't wait to begin this chapter. For life, I am thankful.
My husband. Wow. What an amazing man. No one knows him the way I do. The wonderful person I am fortunate enough to call my husband...he has brought joy in immeasurable ways to me. For Michael, I am thankful.

ETA
Our estimated time of arrival into our first home has been delayed. Indefinitely.
We received word there was a second mortgage that was NOT foreclosed on the home we are buying. Crap. That means we are waiting. Indefinitely. Again. Crap.
God knows what He is doing.
This is my new mantra.

Reconnecting
Today and really, this week, has been such a wonderful time of reconnecting.
I finally got back in touch with my sweet grandmother this morning when I woke up. I had been repeatedly calling her over the last couple of months and had been unable to get her on the phone. Today I finally got to talk to her and reestablish conversation about how she is doing and what is happening in her world. She was so very pleased to report that she had been winning Bingo and prizes at the senior center. So cute!! I miss her so bad but it was so great to talk to her and hear her smile...

Love defined
1 John 4:8- "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
My first anniversary of wedded bliss with my amazing husband is fast approaching and it has me reflecting on our marriage and what love means to me.
This week I decided to do something special for my husband and send him a message every day, telling him something about our marriage that shows love. I loved doing this because it really made me consciously think about what it is about our marriage that works and why it works so well for us.
It got me thinking about how we love one another, not just Michael and I as a couple but all of us on this little planet called Earth. How we love one another as friends, family, strangers, coworkers, etc. Then, of course, I thought about how God love us all. He loves us as if He were blind. A blind love. Acceptance of us as we are. Love for us even when we are wrong, selfish, etc. This is the kind of love that Michael shows me every single day. What a blessing!
I try my best to love completely and with all of my heart. At times, this has been to a fault and has caused me a lot of pain before in relationships with family, romantic relationships, friends, and even strangers. But by knowing God the way I do, I see that to love fully and completely is to strive to be more like Him. He has blessed me with a wonderful companion in this life. And I can truly say that I LOVE him more now than the day I married him.
