no real good title for this one.

Once again it seems like my little family and I are about to embrace a new adventure. Sometimes I wonder if this much change is 'the norm' for young families. Everytime we turn around it seems like something new is headed in our direction, which for me, well, is normal for my husband, not so much.

My husband can be very methodical, he likes to have all of his ducks in a row and he likes to have a plan. Which is completely why God knew a girl like me who never really seems to have a plan needed a guy like him and I like to think that the reverse could be said as well.

I look at my marriage and the short almost 2 and 1/2yrs that is has been and sometimes I'm left feeling overwhelmed but not in the bad sense. Sometimes I feel as though we have been married significantly longer we've had a lot of ups and we've had a lot of downs and yes it really has been only 2& 1/2yrs. Yet, I have to take moments like this to just stop thinking about all that we've been through and embrace the youth that is still our marriage. It excites me, it excites me because we have commited to love each other no matter the circumstance and no matter how hard it may be sometimes to do just that. It excites me because I know that God has allowed various trials into our marriage to help build us up and make our marriage stronger. It excites me that God is doing so much now because I know that he knows of things to come that I have yet to comprehend.

I love my husband. I know that my husband loves me and I know that it is so important for us to build a strong foundation now for our marriage, even in the midst of new adventures, because someday the only thing we may have left is that foundation. And if you have a strong and sturdy foundation you can always rebuild on it.

Right now, I'm probably typing this because I miss my husband. He's at work, working hard, working for his family, working for his God. I miss him though. I hope that I never stop missing him while he is away because if I were to that would be a very sad day.
