I know I don't take time to sit down and blog like I intend to. I want memories captured in one place that we can look back on down the road and remember. Most days I get too caught up enjoying life (and chasing kids) that I don't take the time to sit down and write about it. Since Drew is down with the flu-bug today and won't let me get more than three centimeters away from him, I figure today is a good day to attempt to put into words just how abundantly blessed I am....
While I may not be good at sitting down to blog, I do generally have my phone in hand to snap a picture or video in the moment. Drew is good at taking pictures for me too...and it's always interesting to go back and see exactly what ''moments" he's captured when I wasn't looking! :) We're sitting here together this morning and Drew is scrolling through all the pictures (and sneezing repeatedly on my phone. Hello, bleach!) and I'm overwhelmed with so many feelings of love and joy for my family that I can't even describe it. Even though Drew is sick and I'm fairly sure his bug will pass through to the rest of us, no matter how much I clean, I know that this, too, will pass.
The whole world should know what a wonderful man my husband is. He loves me unconditionally and definitely way more than I ever deserve. It's so amazing to me that the biggest blessings in my life happened when I had pushed God the furthest from my life...a true testimony that He is always there even when you don't fully acknowledge Him. Who knew that I would meet my future husband that night three years ago...but for everything to fall together like it did for us to meet was not a coincidence! Our journey hasn't always been easy, but the love we share and our faith in God is always enough to see us through.
Looking at the pictures and videos on my phone, we have so many fun times with our kids. While we never get enough time with any of them, the times we do have are priceless. I can't help but laugh looking back at the memories. Impromptu dance parties in the kitchen, new puppies wrestling, the MANY faces of Super Drew (oh how I love this phase), sports, sports, sports, and all of them growing right before my eyes....yes, I am blessed beyond measure!!
Julie...I am so very happy for you and Rory and boy that night was a wild one! :) Im glad I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know you so many years ago at Maytag! Since then we have been able to develop a great friendship that I am grateful for. I am also so proud of you for finding your way back to the Lord and now you and your family are reaping the rewards of his endless love. ♥ Marriage is not easy and you and I know how hard it can be at times but as long as we keep our focus on the Lord he will guide us through any storm. Your boys and your family is beautiful and I agree you are very blessed. Treasure every moment you can! ♥ ya ~ Kel
