Hey there poor little neglected blog... how ya been?
Sorry I've left you high and dry.  I really don't have a good excuse.
Every time I think about blogging I have SO MANY thoughts in my head that by the time I narrow it down the blogging bug has left and I'm on to some other task. (and the fact that we don't have internet at home slows me a bit as well).

As of Sunday, it's been one year since I became a Mrs.  It seems like so much longer than that (in a good way, I promise!).  I often think back to when I would have liked to have gotten married but then realize if L-dub and I had gotten together then we wouldn't be the people we are now.  Things would have been different, probably harder.  God knows, His timing is perfect and I'm thankful for that.  I think getting married a little later in life (yes, getting married at 27 is "late" in life compared to most marriages in our church family) has helped to mature and prepare us for this great adventure of creating a family.  Right now it's just us two.  But hopefully, someday, in the relatively near future it will expand to three, or four, or possibly five (the final number is still up for debate).  I love and adore this amazing man that God has blessed me with.  Yet I need to be careful not to put him on a pedestal.  He is a sinner just like me.  He will fail me as much as I don't want to believe he will.  He is a man.
There is one relationship that must remain above the one with my dear husband. 
One relationship that is of eternal value.
One that I must not allow to be pushed to the back seat.
The only one that truly matters.
The relationship I have with my heavenly Father!
At the very beginning of our wedding ceremony we each confirmed this relationship in front of all our friends and family.  The songs, message and vows all revolved around the theme of our Heavenly Father. 
Why?  
Because without Him we would have nothing.
Without Him there would be no purpose in life.
Without Him we wouldn't have each other.
