Love…

As you may have noticed I changed my background and header on here. I made it something neutral so I don’t have to worry about changing with each season. I like blogging but keeping up with a background really gets on my nerves. And I pretty much refuse to pay someone to do it.

Anyway, you will see that I added the quote, “A life without Love is no life at all.” I am sitting here on my night that I am supposed to have been working but was put “on call” instead and I’m just thinking how lucky I am. I am grateful I have a job that they can call and tell me to stay home for a night. Does it dip into my pocket book? Of course. But at least I have a job…Lots of people don’t right now. In fact, I have a job I love. But work is not what this post is about.

However, because I didn’t have to work, I got to stay at home with my family. The three of us ate dinner together, sat in Jayci’s playroom and played a game, and enjoyed some family time. In fact, Jayci even won and we only helped her out a little bit. HA! 

After Jayci went to bed Jay headed to bed pretty quick which left me up to watch a movie, blog, and just think. To really think how much God has blessed me these past years. I know I would not be where I am today without Him.

Most of you know, or if you are new to my blog you may not, but Jay and I had a really rough start to our life together. We had dated for about a year, I got pregnant, and when I was about 6-7 months along we were married. I can honestly say that I had some strong feelings for Jay but Love…I don’t know. I thought I did at the time but I look at us and we were such kids. I was 21 and he was 22 which age wise makes us adults but definitely not maturity wise. But here we are 5 years later; happily (most days) married, raising a beautiful little girl, and about to have a precious baby boy to raise.

I am just undoubtedly filled to the brim with love for my husband. He is the man that God sent for me. We may have our differences but I know with all my heart that 5 years ago when I very hesitantly said “I do” I made the best choice I could have ever made.

I love you, Jay. Hopefully you will read this one day but if not I will just start trying to show you more and more how much I love you.

Okay well I’m not a real softy kind of gal, when it comes to feelings, so I’m going to end on that note before I say something dumb and ruin this post. I hope each of you have a good week.
