My Favorite Things

Lisa Leonard asked the question on her blog, "What are your favorite things?" It made me stop and think about the good things in life...something I often forget to do. Here are the first things that came to my mind:


~the smell of my 8 month old baby boy

~being too silly for words with my hubby while our baby giggles

~snuggling with my velvet soft mini-doxie schatz

~the feeling i get while singing a worship song when i can feel Jesus smiling down on me

~the realization of a prayer that's been answered

~the sound of my husband's key opening the front door after a long day without him

~sharing a bowl of popcorn with my hubby while watching LOST

~Doc's Java ice cream on a hot day

~having a good long and hard cry every now and then...for some reason i always feel refreshed afterwards

What are your favorite things??

5 years with my Best Friend












Eric and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary yesterday. When I reflect on what we have experienced together these past 5 years, my heart is filled with praise, thanksgiving, and joy for what God has done. There have been both times of blessings and times of trials, but I truly believe that it has made our marriage stronger and our friendship deeper. I wouldn't want to go through this life with anyone else. Eric is an amazing husband and the father every child dreams of. I love you Eric and can't wait to celebrate 70 more years with you as your wife.






Eric, today in the presence of God and these witnesses, I commit myself to you as your wife, your encourager and your best friend. Because the Lord is the source of all that is perfect, I promise to continually seek Him as the giver of my love for you. I promise to be your helper and supporter that I may comfort you in times of sorrow and share with you joy in times of gladness. Eric, because the Lord has made us for each other, I joyfully anticipate the years ahead as we grow together in Christ and as a family. I promise to always be faithful to you and to our commitment, no matter what the cost and no matter what the sacrifice, for as long as we both shall live.

8 Months New




This has been quite the week of milestones for Noahroo. He turned 8 months old on the 1st of May. He cut 2 teeth making the grand total of pearly whites 5 so far. He also started crawling AND he can now pull himself to a standing position in his crib. I cannot believe how fast he is growing. I know I've said it in previous posts, but this little guy has stolen our hearts completely.
