1945. a sister who loves me and needs me..and even says that out loud sometimes
1946. a tender middle child niece. soft spoken, non aggressive, a peacemaker, full of affection and snuggles. love my sweet Chloe Lynn
1947. my new tiny delicate rose gold bracelet..with the accurate word on it "wifey." almost as perfect as an upgraded wedding band ;)
1948. candles. green plants. night time.
1949. hot beverages in the cold of winter
1950. presents. they are so fun to give and also to receive!!
1951. a wonderful weekend with our little family making memories, experiencing lovely cultured things together, tasting delicious food, allowing ourselves to be pampered and relax fully, and have no where else we need to be.
1952. thankful that the dress i bought a long while back and never wore-waiting and hoping for the perfect time to pull it out- fit perfectly for our evening out. it made me feel pretty, classy, and hopeful for a handful more of these lovely days..:)
1953. any peace, no matter how little or lot, is always a gift in my marriage.
1954. after no interaction or response, finally an abundance to let me know i am loved, known, and cared about
1955. sweet friends who were generous in our gift exchange and gave me the most wonderful gifts that i have already put to use-like i said-i love gifts!
1956. harsh yet important truth. a renewed passion to search and pursue it for myself. i want to be a protector and bearer of Christ and His unwavering truth. it is worth it. it is a gift and honor to even be able to share it with any and every one.
1957. two little homemade ornaments sticky with tacky glue and mismatched gems..little polaroid pictures shifting around in the middle of my kids faces and the words are etched with crayon, "Jesus Came For..Ben and Norah." cherished little keepsake gifts.
1958. a husband who is patient, full of long suffering, slow to anger, quick to be soft and listen..
i don't deserve him. nor will i ever.
