Engagement Pics!

K took these at mom's farm a few weeks ago....and yes. I know I need to rotate some...so until I get the time...um...tilt your head :-) Enjoy...

in the blink of an eye....

As I re-read this post this morning, once again my eyes filled with tears - worse today to realize that my sinking feeling yesterday had been right.....my heart is with the family....

It made me stop and think about all of those little moments that we don't even think about - making sure to say "I love you" at the end of a phone call - to kiss your family goodnight and goodbye...

...For a while after Shawn passed...whenever one of us would leave, my mother would say "If I don't see you here, I'll see you there!" Our wonderful hope that there is something more, that we will see each other again - that there is really truly more than this life - that blessed hope - no...it doesn't always stop the flow of the tears as we mourn - and I'll be honest, sometimes the reminder even makes one angry - but when we stop to think about it.....that blessed hope is what keeps us going - to know our wonderful Father cares enough to watch over us while we're here, to carry us home to Him when we've tarried long enough...although it doesn't ever seem long enough does it?

Father God,
I thank you for your sovereignty. I thank you for your mighty plans and for the fact that you never look away - even for a second.
Amen

Happy Anniversary Bug!

Four years ago today...

Out of nowhere you kissed me....and once again sealed my heart to yours - only this time we knew it would be forever. I love you so much honey and I can't wait to marry you (just 344 days to go!)

We've shared so many happy memories



We've shared laughter



Smiles and hugs


those adoring looks that make everyone but us nauseated....(and really wish I could insert a pic but it just plain wouldn't cooperate...)

Bug, you have my heart, always and forever and I promise to be a Proverbs 31 woman for you.

You've gilated me, given me more itis than I know what to do with and taught me to treasure 50-11....I'll always be your Eye and your Babe

I love you so much more than I can find the words to say.
