Cherish Every Moment

I have learned to cherish every moment I have. I will no longer complain about a baby who doesn't sleep through the night. I will no longer complain about a cranky, fussy baby. I will be thankful that God has given me a beautiful baby boy. I won't complain about a husband who works lates, or on the weekends. I will be thankful that my husband has a job that puts food on our table and a roof over our head. I will not complain about cooking dinner, cleaning the house, or doing the laundry. I will be thankful that I am able to do these things. I will remember that God has given me more to be thankful for than I deserve. He has shown me that there are families that have the world falling apart around them, yet they know that God is with them and it is in his plan. The Marsh Family has just lost their little girl, Layla Grace, but they have faith that I hope I can one day have. They have shown me what true faith is about. Rest in peace little Layla. You are no longer in pain and you are with God, a perfect little angel.

Happy 5 Years!

Five years ago I married the love of my life. Five years ago, he made me a better person. And five years ago, I made the best decision I have ever made. It's hard to believe it's only been 5 years. So much has changed in our lives. We bought a house. We have bought 5 vehicles (and sold 3), 3 4-wheelers (and sold 2), we know are proud boat owners (or I should say, Keith is....), we have been to Costa Rica, Lake Tahoe, a couple trips to Baltimore, and are planning a trip to Japan this summer. Our friends have gotten married, gotten divorced, had babies, and some have some fixing to go to college. There have been ups and downs, but nothing has brought us more joy than our little man. He makes us laugh on a daily basis and is a contsant reminder of how much we love each other and blessed we truly are. Here are a few pictures from our big day (from our wedding album made by our FABULOUS photographer Christine Meeker).
