Thinking Back!!

Ok!!! It all started at this rock 6 years ago! TODAY!! No April Fools Joke!!

This is were my husband proposed to me -- a beautiful evening and also very romantic spot..... with life begining all around us leaves beginning to bud/blossum. He tried to make it as romantic as possible but I was not as willing I was soo tired that evening and just wanted to go home. It all turned out great because 5 months later we were married and look at us now.....

Two Wonderful Children {Austin and Addison} and a black lab named "Moose". Life is good. Life is not always easy and marriage has its ups/downs. The challenges we face are sometimes fun, sometimes frustrating, and sometimes just plain crazy. I love you Forever and Always Tony {even when your sick and being a whimp -LOL}, thanks for making a wonderful change in my life... I love where we have been and look forward to where we are going... hand in hand and loving each other raising our Children the best we can.

While we were at the Nature Trails.... Austin and Addison were so intrigued with the fisherman... they were having such fun just watching.

Commitment

 

Tonight for Care Group we all went to see the movie "Fireproof Your Marriage - Never Leave Your Partner Behind" movie at The Assembly of God Church. It was an Awesome movie, well worth it, and very touching to both of our hearts. Marriage is not only a commitment to each other but also a covenant we make with the Lord. As Tony said "it is so easy to take a relationship for granted -- we become selfish in our mind and actions because we know the other person will always be there because of the commitment made." Marriage is full of challenges, struggles, sadness, emotional ups and downs, and at times it almost feels easier to {GIVE UP} walk away, however with God in our hearts those elements in life that create negative emotions are easily concurred with Our Partners so we enjoy the GIFT that God gave us HIS "Forgiveness".
I just want to pray for God to build a good healthy and foundation in me so that I am and will become a better WIFE to my Husband.

I would highly recommend the movie to everyone.

Hand in Hand

 

I have been reading a daily devotional book and this morning the title of the day was "Keep in Touch with God". It seems as though some days I forget to keep my focus on {Him}. The struggles of marriage, being a mother of 2, working full-time, friends, housekeeping, and dealings with family all overwhelm me at times. I sometimes feel as if I have no time to myself.... peace, quiet, laziness, nothingness, just {me} time is no longer available.... so to have time to keep in touch with God seems to be put on the back burner. I have made a committment this year {2009} to make time for HIM and to make time for ME.... enjoy the life I have and to find happiness and laughs in the struggles and challenges that I may encouter. So this picture represents {OUR} Life this year -- we are devoted to each other and we will work out our differences calmly, growing together in God, and with each other become the best parents we can to our children. Life is a journey and we do need to enjoy the ride "hand in hand" with our Trust in God to lead us down the fulfilling path of {our} Life.
