You Mean Everything to Me

Thirteen years ago, I climbed into my bed and prayed to God that I would get a good nights sleep (my phsyical abilities were always dependent on the quantity and quality of sleep).  My prayers were answered and I had the best night of sleep that I have ever had.  And because of the exceptional night of rest, I was able to throughly enjoy my wedding day.

As I think back to that beautful summer day, I can't get over how lucky I am that God gave me Steve.  He has been by my side through it all, both good and bad.  I don't know if there is another person who could have handled this journey better than him.  I am so grateful for His gift of love.

Happy Anniversary Steve!

    1. Thanks for the kind words. I alway thought that God made me different for a reason and if it means that I went through all of that so I could help others in life appreaceate the little things, then it will all be worth it.

    1. Thank you for those kind words. Back in college I thought that some day I would like to be a motivational speaker. I've been strongly considering the idea lately, but need to complete my book first. I have been approached by a couple different colleges to speak to students. I feel so blessed.
