Do you know how awesome it feels to still be in love with my husband. Let me explain myself. In this day in age, when the divorce rate is so high and everyone around us is divorcing, to still be with the 1st person you married is a very big deal. The odds are against us because both of our parents have also divorced at least once. I met Tim when I was a sophomore in high school. I knew he was the one I wanted to marry. I have been with him for 13 years, 9 of those married years.

We went to watch Tim play his cello in the Christmas program last night and I fell in love with him all over again. God continues to bless our marriage. I find myself "falling in love" with him all over again many times throughout the year. Sometimes it's just the little things I see in him that remind me that God knew exactly what I needed when he put Tim in my path. I am so thankful for him being a good husband, father, and provider.

Good times.....

I had the most fun time making Christmas cookies with my kids this weekend. We made such a mess, but we had a blast. I want to start making fun traditions like that for them to remember when they grow up. They made some really cute sugar cookies and we tried some new recipes this year. The yummy mint chocolate chip cookies were the best! I love Christmas and all the fun things that go with it. I love the Christmas songs and the present wrapping. I love all the baking and cooking. I love the shopping and the busyness. I love the candle light service and reminding my kids that this is Jesus' birthday and if it weren't for him we wouldn't have a Saviour. They wanna make Jesus a cake and sing happy birthday to him. How cool is that. We are so blessed. We have everything we need and almost everything we want. God is good!! Merry Christmas everyone!
