2 years

2 years.......
We've officially been married 2 whole years. WOW. It really has been the greatest 2 years ever. We both have grown so much and continue to learn things about each other! Even after being together 7.5 years, we are still learning! At this point, we get excited when we learn something new! I really just feel so blessed to have him as my husband. He is a hard worker, helps around the house, can fix ANYTHING, and i mean anything. And once he starts a project, well you better forget about anything else, because once that man sets his mind on something... its DONE! :) But i love it!


And in the past 10 months... Ive watched him grow into the most loving, carings, protective Father. Its been so beautiful. I really believe since Ive had such "issues" with my father growing up, I really just value and hold close that relationship him and Abby Grace share. She adores her daddy, and he adores her. Its such a magical thing to watch.


We are just so so blessed. Thank you Lord for giving me such a beautiful life, with such a beautiful family! I dont deserve ANY of it! Thank you, thank you!


Now on to Christmas festivities! Merry Christmas Y'all! From the ORRS :)

blessed

Ive defitely realized how much we take health for granted this weekend. While having a house full of sickys and parents and inlaws sick as well, i am thankful for health. It is HARD being a sick mom taking care of a sick baby and sick husband! But it really has taught me a HUGE lesson, dont take health for granted. WE are so blessed. More than we could ever know. And I couldnt help but think everytime i was about to complain, at least i have all my family here and alive. This is a dark dark world, that needs a whole lot of Jesus. I am so thankful Jesus never gives up on us. Time and time again he takes me back into his arms and forgives me for all of my sins. Thank you Jesus for second chances, and thirds, and fourths. Thank you for HEALTH. Thank you for life! Thankful this Christmas season, its not about gifts and shopping, but about a SAVIOR being born. Happy Birthday to our sweet sweet Savior. Thank you for setting me free!
