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.

Honeymoon, belated
My sweet husband took me on a weekend getaway to Fort Myers for our one year anniversary this past weekend. We never had a honeymoon after our wedding so this was our first "vacation" together as a married couple. It really ended up feeling like a honeymoon.
We played putt putt, toured the Edison & Ford museum, played putt putt again, and had some nice dinners out. Michael took me to watch the sunset on the beach and to Cold Stone Creamery on the night of our anniversary! :-D Most importantly, we were able to relax and get away from all of the stress that has attempted to take over our lives lately, i.e. buying a house, Michael's work, finding a job for me, etc. What joy! (I took lots of pics on my phone but I will have to wait until we move to upload them!!)
It's amazing how you don't really have to go that far from home to get away from it all. Just book a hotel room and relax as if you were thousands of miles away from everything!!

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.
