I wouldn't have ever thought that our life would look like it does now, but boy am I thankful. The Lord most definately knows what he is doing and has a great plan for our lives. I feel so much joy in knowing that he is in control and is continually faithful.
Marriage is such a sweet blessing and I feel like I know way more about being a servent for the Lord because of it. David has taught me so much about who I am, flaws and all. I can honestly say that the Lord has done such great work in my heart through my husband and I'm so excited to see all the ways he continually does that year to year.
David is truly such a blessing to me and I don't know what I would do without his patience and love toward me. He has a way of always putting a smile on my face when I need it most. He knows the times that I get most anxious and usually has a way of calming me down. He never gets upset knowing that I enjoy having a very neat apartment and strives to care for me by putting his things away without even realizing how much it blesses me. He laughs at my never ending list of pet peeves and jokes about how I say phrases incorrectly and can't keep a secret for the life of me. He realizes that coffee dates tend to be my most favorite thing and even looks at pictures of baby things, furniture, houses, etsy stuff, pottery barn...... even though I know it bores him to death. He never gets frustrated that I'm indecisive and move things around the apartment and will buy shirts that have pink in them since he knows that I like him in pastels. He gets that I like routine and will try so hard to keep his eyes open since I become most talkative once we get into bed. He knows how much I enjoy gentlemen and will open the door for me and give me his arm all the time. His patience, compassion and love never cease to amaze me.....what an amazing shadow of Christ I have in my husband.
So as I reflect on these two years....I get excited knowing that God-willing there are many more to come!
Since we know how special marriage is we get so excited for people getting married and are so blessed to be celebrating two weddings this weekend. David is reading scripture in one and I'm a bridesmaid in the other. Even though we don't get to see eachother a lot that day, I know how much it means to both of us to be a part of a wedding and to share love to both couples. It will be such a wonderful day celebrating the union of Andrew and Vanessa Chesebro and Paul and Ashley Mazanka!
Monday is our real anniversary so we plan to have a nice dinner together. The beginning of January will be our true celebration though as we travel to our favorite place....Traverse City. We will be staying at a winery/bed and breakfast for two nights and doing nothing but relaxing. I'm beyond excited!!!
Hope this time leading up to Christmas is joyous and wonderful! Rejoicing in our Lord, Jesus Christ!
ps. I hope to get out Christmas cards soon....we had a mistake with printing and had to send them back to get fixed!
