Since he is not home today I guess that means that I need to finish the last couple loads of laundry, and do homework/studying that I have put off all week because spending quality time with my husband was more important than anything on my to do list. I definitely realized this week that I take too much for granted, and that sometimes I just need to stop no matter how much homework I have or how busy life is and spend time investing in our relationship-- because in the end the relationship I have with my husband is all that really matters. So I sit here smiling this morning because I think God knew I needed to learn a little lesson with all this snow and ice, I needed to learn that it is not so important if all my things are checked off my list; it is more important to cherish the sweet moments I have with my husband. So in the months to come till graduation I am going to remind myself frequently of this snow week and how incredible it felt to not have a care in the world and be curled up in my husbands arms loving every second of the time we were spending together. Note to self- this does not mean that I am going to slack off for the next couple of months till graduation but I am going to allow myself breaks to just curl up in the arms of my husband and appreciate life's little blessings. I hope everyone has a productive Saturday since the snow is melting and we can all get out and about! Remember to enjoy the little things in life, because at the end of the day the checklist really is not that important!
I will leave you with this sweet picture of Reagan and I from our wedding day-- our expressions say it all, life is so much better with him by my side and being married to him has been the best gift God has given me thus far!
"God help me to remember to stop and appreciate the little things in life that You have given me that bring so much joy to my life."
