Everyone Says
Logan is ten weeks old. In ten days, I will have been married for one year and be turning 28. Last year this week I was saying goodbye to my old life...everything and everyone. I was frantically packing my house, still working full time at Starbucks, trying to leave my store in perfect working condition, saying goodbye to my friends, and planning a wedding? Wow, how in the world did I survive? Well, my prince had come. That's how. He was worth leaving everything behind...because I knew that what he had waiting for me...what He had waiting for me...was the life I had always waited FOR. And here I am...I got married to the man of my dreams...the man created for me and I for him. I gave birth to our beautiful son and we are in absolute bliss. There isn't a day that passes by that I am not amazed by God's perfect timing, His great wisdom and His wonderful gifts!
Everyone says that the first year of marriage is the hardest. Well, then I cannot even begin to imagine how wonderful our life will be in ten, fifteen, thirty years. We rarely fight, we kiss frequently, we have grace for the other person, we give each other space, we spend time together doing the things we love, we trust eachother implicitly, I love you's flitter out of our mouths so often it even is whispered in our sleep. So, I hope (in this case) that what everyone says in right. So, back to MY PRINCE came...I was always told that he didn't exist. That I had a fairytale complex...that I imagined being married and having a baby as a bliss that didn't happen except in movies. On the other end of the spectrum a visiting pastor told me that the life God had for me "would fit like a glove." That the husband and children He had for me would be so beautiful and wonderful. Well, I'm glad to say that I did have a fairytale complex and my life does fit like a glove. He gives and takes away...so I say this humbly and give Him all the glory...My life is more wonderful than I could have ever imagined. Jeremy has enhanced my happiness...he shows me the love of God night and day. Thank you Lord! A million times over...thank you for my soulmate!
