it's the middle of september now. and my last post was the first of the month. it's been a busy one, folks. the busiest. great, but busy. hang with me. i want to blog. i really do. but my plate is full of commitments to fulfill, apples to cut, and picture books to read. my "to blog" list just keeps growing and growing. check back soon. or at least in october.
(that was a joke, but we'll see if i do actually roll out another post in september.)
our anniversary night away was just what we needed in the midst of these busy days. things are still busy, so this will have to be short and sweet. (which is a great way to describe our getaway!)
we had a great time doing pretty much nothing. we enjoyed the quiet.
and i got to take naps. i was really bummed when i woke up on my own at 7:30 on saturday morning, but i happily went right back to sleep.
we ordered pizza and watched movies. neither of the movies were that great, but i think they were the most enjoyable mediocre movies i've watched in a long time.
we never tired of our beautiful view. we contemplated eating our muffins out on the porch saturday morning, but the absence of a breeze and the presence of mosquitoes and humidity sent us back indoors.
i really just couldn't get enough of the trees. a canopy of oaks is hard to top in my book.
and here we are, five years later and five years stronger. we are so grateful to our gracious friends who gave us the keys to their beautiful beach house for the night. thanks, jay and tammy!
i love my husband. i am thankful for the blessing of marriage and the daily reminders that this union brings. i am reminded of Christ's love for His church. i am reminded of the abundant gift of God's grace. i am reminded that my life is not my own. i am reminded that i am in need of a Savior. and i am reminded of the wonderful power of forgiveness. praise the Lord for these five years, and i pray that the next five (and the next five, and the next five, etc) will be to His Glory.
