Looking back...

Melanie Wasko just e-mailed us the link to view our pictures! I about cried! They are so beautiful and classy and ... and... I can't decide which are my favorites! Looking forward to being able to display them throughout the house!!!!!!

Hurrah! I'm married! And, just in case you were wondering, I love my awesome husband! I couldn't have dreamed of a better man for me. God has so specifically crafted him for me and I for him that it's scary. Well, not scary, but unreal.

I was struggling with laziness and selfishness yesterday and was confessing this to Michael. I hadn't (and didn't want to) done the dishes from the night before and the morning dishes and laundry needed to be folded, ironed and put away, and the house just needed a general clean-up before the weekend. I had plenty of time to do it after getting off work early, but, instead I laid on the bed, feigned sleep, and read my Christian female novel.

My husband is such a servant that even after a twelve hour day at work (6 1/2 hours of which was in a vibrating helicopter cockpit) he still blesses me and gets things cleaned up, put away and cleaned.

After I had confessed this to Michael he gave me a hug and a smile and said that he would rather have been blessed with me enjoying my afternoon than fretting over little things to "please him".

I don't deserve a man as good as he is!

Michael, my love, thank you for an awesome two and a half months of marriage! I look forward to the hundred more years we have followed by eternity with our Savior!! Thank you for embracing the calling the Lord has on your life. And thank you for leading me back to the cross and reminding me of Who is actually in control of my every step. I love you!
For I am in a time of life when things change around me. Everything I own or think I have control over I must lay before my Father's feet: my education, my body, my place of residence, my husband, my children.
