The love of my life
My sweet David truely is the love of my life. In August we celebrated 6 years of marriage. Every year gets better and better. We have been through a lot in 6 years: 7 moves, spanning 2 states and 2 countries, Being job-less, seeing miracles, me struggling through a season of chemical depression early in our marriage, having two beautiful girls,losing two babies in pregnancy, traveling the globe together, being apart for 23 days once ( never again). Marriage is the closest thing to heaven on earth that I can imagine. It is the hardest work with the greatest payoff. I am so thankful for the humble, generous, selfless, handsome, Godly, caring, funny man that God gave me in David. I am humbled that this man is willing to go to the trouble , do the work, grow stretch and continue to love me on my best and worst days.......I love this man.
We celebrated with two nights away from the girls, and then took the girls for some gelati on our anniversary. Eiley said to me the other day "When i become a man I will marry you mom." While flattered, I replied with something like:" Thank you sweet heart, but my heart will always be Daddy's, and someday you will meet a man like Daddy and get married to him instead"....OH that she would meet someone like her precious father.
how bout them apples?
My lovely Goodland Apple tree produced large gorgeous apples this year which were eaten, chopped, mashed and cooked into lots of delicious things. I am so thankful for that tree, and my tomatoes are yumm too producing so many tomatoes, I made 35 pint of hot spicy salsa...mmmmm. Of course we had one hen-looking tomato, not sure how that happened.
