3 Years and Thankful Still

Three years ago God answered prayer in more ways than I can even begin to describe - our move from Merrimack to Temple happened with so many things that were absolutely God's hand moving on our behalf and blessings poured out. I think the tag link for 'moving' will take you to posts relating to all the things that went on.

This was what we bought on March 15, 2013

This is now (well not really now - as this was a summer photo)

Other than the trauma that is small town politics (town meeting!) we are still in love with this place that God has so graciously provided for us.  This is truly our HOME in a way that we never felt in Merrimack.  The kids love it, we love it, the animals all love it.  It's simply marvelous.

When we have people come here - generally everyone comments on what an amazing spot we have tucked away and hidden from view.  It's wonderful and we are truly thankful for God's gifts.

Blessings on the journey~

Happy Anniversary (sort of)

February 29, 1996
A unique date to begin our very unique life together.  A life filled with love and LOTS of laughter.

I am blessed to be married to an amazing man - who loves Jesus, me and our family - beyond measure.  He always puts us ahead of himself and never have I seen him be selfish in anything.  Always can make us laugh and teaches patiently when needed.
THIS is a sampling of the things that make me love him more and more with every passing year.

Happiness is being married to this wonderful man!  I love you Steve!

Anniversary and a song

Last week Steve and I celebrated our anniversary.  We've been married 15 years and it just keeps getting better. 

He is my best friend and loves me more than I can believe is possible and definitely better than I deserve.  Everyday I thank God for sending me the perfect husband for me...one who honors me, believes in me, trust me and inspires me to be better than I think I can be.  I am beyond blessed.
We have this sort of running joke where I tell him how thankful I am for all he does for me and he tells me that I'm just easy to please.  This is because he never sees that all he does, each day, is really anything special or "more" than the ordinary.  I see things... I KNOW that I am well treated by this man who shares my life.  I think he does an amazing job of living the scriptures that tell a husband to love his wife and care for her the way Christ does the church.
And he will comment and tell me that I give him too much credit. :-)  It's just the way he is.

A few years ago he downloaded a song for me as a present.  He is not one to be overly demonstrative and wordy and the song brought me to tears in seconds.




Any doubt that he is awesome?

I didn't think so either. :-)
