Today is a little bit of a long one. Some of you know what that means. Brian sent me away this last Monday and Tuesday for two nights of being alone. I had no idea how lonely I was for myself–how much I missed time with just me. Does that make sense? I slept in [...]
Today is our 14 year anniversary, and I am more in love with Brian than ever! When we first got engaged, a woman at our church asked me if I knew what the meaning of marriage was. I was bright eyed and clueless to the passionate answer she gave. She said “Marriage is about fighting [...]
