#13 - I am thankful for wonderful friends. And boy do we have lots of them! As I spent the day with Stephanie getting ready for J's 30th surprise party I couldn't help but think how grateful I am to have such a wonderful support group. I have known my wonderful "girlfriends" Lauren, Stephanie, and Mary for over 14 years now. We have gone through so much - the good, the bad, the ugly, the celebrations, the devastations - you name it. Yet, we get stronger, we support each other, and now - we have husbands(and future husbands) who are friends, too. God has truly given us to each other as extra sisters. So thankful for these friendships and the many others that Chris and I have. These friends are proof that God wants the very best for us - and for that we couldn't be more grateful!
#14 - I am thankful for a husband who puts God first and our marriage second. As I listened to Jim Wideman speak at Ellie Grace's baby dedication tonight I couldn't help but think about how amazing it will be to have Chris be a father to our children one day. I am SO THANKFUL for the time God has allowed Chris and I to grow together as a couple over the 9 years we've been together and as husband and wife the past 4 years. I know this time is preparing us for one day having children of our own and I know that will come with his wonderful timing. How blessed I am to have a man sitting next to me tonight who I know will be a fabulous husband AND father one day - who reminds me often that we make a good team and can accomplish so much together. God has so much to show us still, and for that I am very excited. We've come a long way already, and I am ready to just keep going to see all that He has waiting for us.
It's better to have a partner than go it alone.
Share the work, share the wealth.
And if one falls down, the other helps,
But if there's no one to help - tough!
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
