"Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave." -Martin Luther

Two Years

Two years ago today I got a surprise phone call which ended in my being engaged to the most amazing man. That was such an exciting time!

And now is even better, it is such a wonderful thing to be married to my best friend! God is good! I love you Graham!!

Roses

A few days ago my husband surprised me with these flowers. I have always loved red and white roses and these were so perfect. :):)

Gorgeous roses
Beauty Red and White
They are so pretty I just had to take a few pictures:). I love my husband:).

Roses

Graham surprised me with these the other day. Even though I love red roses, I think these orange/peach coloured ones are a new favorite. :)

Aren't they beautiful? :)

A Year Ago

Three hundred and sixty five days ago:) I saw my (then future) husband in person for the first time:). I can still remember driving into the airport parking lot late on June 9th with my parents and little brother and seeing my dear:) Graham standing just outside the airport terminal waiting for us. At the time we had been writing and calling for around four months. It was exciting, and I was nervous:):). We had a wonderful visit and at the end of it Graham asked if I could come up to Canada to meet his family. With my parents permission I said "yes!":) and my sister and I went up in August of last year. Graham and I were engaged in August and married (more wedding pictures here) three months later in November:).

On the front porch of my parents house in Florida:)

We don't have many pictures of that first visit, but here is one:). I couldn't have imagined that just one year later we would be married, eagerly awaiting the birth of our baby. The Lord has truly blessed us! I am so very thankful He brought Graham and I together; I could not ask for a better husband. :)

Beautiful Roses....

My wonderful husband gave me these a few days ago:). Brings back memories of other times when he has surprised me. When I (along with my sister) visited his family in Canada he was waiting for me at the airport with roses. Another time when we were courting, a surprise package arrived in the mail; upon opening it I discovered twelve gorgeous red roses:).....and that is just to name two of the times:).

I love you Graham! :) I am privileged to be your wife.

Three Months Ago Today...

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for them that love Him.” - 1 Corinthians 2:9

Mr. and Mrs. :) Me with my Godly, amazing, caring, handsome, honest, intelligent, kind, loving, strong, smart, tall, thoughtful, true, wonderful, husband on our wedding day:). God has truly blessed me more then I could ask or think.

TOGETHER AS ONE

See our great God has drawn these two together
Now He will join them two complete as one.
He has given them sweet love for each other,
A new page of life for them has begun!

As they now grow through unknown joys or sorrows,
Our great blessed God grant special grace Divine.
Cause them to look to You before all others,
That Christ’s blessed Life might ever from them shine!

Faithful till death, these two dear ones together,
Caring and sharing your great glorious love;
Always forgiving, all and one another,

For any wrong that either one has done.

Father, and Son, and Spirit blessing ever,
Come and anoint these two who seek Your grace!
Bless them in life, LORD, fruitful and abundant,
As we all now do humbly seek Your face!

Now the time’s come with love’s new joys beginning,
Being brought together, joined by You as one.
May Your kind hand guide safe through all tomorrows,
And bring them safe to Your eternal home.
