I have the need to express these feelings so that I have some sort of record of them, since I don't journal as often as I know that I should. I have to say how much I love and respect my husband. Never in my single life did I imagine that I'd be lucky enough to find someone who loves me as much as he does. We've been through more trials than most in the two and a half years since we married, but I know that they have brought us closer together than anything else could have. The more trials we face, the closer we become to each other and to the Lord. While the pain is sometimes almost too much to bear, the sweet joy and bond that we forge makes it worth the effort. This bond that we share is more than I had ever expected to experience. I love him more than anyone I've ever known in my life and I'm more and more grateful for him everyday.
I want anyone reading this to know what a wonderful husband and father he is and how hard he tries to make me happy. Someday I hope to be in a place that I can return the same amount of love that he has shown me. I am eternally grateful to my Heavenly Father for the blessing of this man in my life. I know he is the perfect companion for me, although he himself is imperfect. Good thing I am, too. We're on this road of life together and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Picture!
Love this fun, new pic that I took using my iMac's PhotoBooth feature. I just love finding out new stuff that I can do with my baby! (I'm talking about the iMac, not Eli. Don't worry, I still love and spend time with him, too!)

Recent Layouts
Here are some pictures and a layout from a mini photo shoot that I did with Ali and Angela while I was in San Antonio for Christmas. We had fun and I wish we would have had more time! Isn't that always the case? Ah well, they turned out alright.
Here's Ali workin' it for the camera. She did a great job, even with my dooey directions, apparently. :)
This is Angela doing her best modeling pose. She's quite a natural.
Thanks for checking in!

Playing Catchup
Well, things have slowed down a lot lately since the passage of the holiday season. It got incredibly busy there for a while, with work and vacation and church and illness and all sorts of things. But life is back to it's normal pace now, with Nathan back at work, our slow recovery from sickness, and regular life returning. It's always sort of a letdown for me, because Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year and I always miss it when it's gone. But, it's time to move onward and forward!
Okay, I have to put this story down on paper (or cyberspace, whatever). Nathan and I had finally gotten out on a date this past Friday night, thanks to his dad who came down and watched Eli for us. We decided to go to dinner and headed to Claim Jumper. We were told the wait would be about 45 minutes, so we sat down and waited. After about an hour and a half of waiting, they finally buzzed us and we went to the front counter. A hostess took us all through the restaurant to the back, where we got to a table that wasn't cleaned off. So instead of waiting right there for the busser to clean the table off, she took us all the way back to the front of the restaurant and told us to wait until it was cleaned.
So we're standing right next to the counter, staring at the girl who took us back, who was at this point oblivious to us, talking to all her other hostess friends. We're waiting and waiting, and notice that they're starting to call other people and taking them back. Finally, after waiting for about 15 minutes, Nathan asks, "Is our table ready yet?" and the dumb hostess looks at us like we're crazy for a minute, then realized that she had completely forgotten about us. So she says to the main hostess (who is assigning table to everyone), "Is that table ready?" The main hostess says, "Yeah, but I already sat it." So the dumb one turns to us and says, "It's going to be just a minute." She looked at me and I must have given her some sort of flesh-eating look, because she quickly said, "Actually, we can seat you right now." I was thinking, 'You'd better!'
So we finally get to our table and the waitstaff that was there were pretty nice, but we had another problem with our appetizer, so we didn't get it for 20 minutes after we sat down. That's when Nathan asked for the manager. It was possibly the worst dining experience that I've ever had. Needless to say, the manager was really nice about it, and apparently chewed out the hostess because our waitress came over and asked us what the story was because there was a lot of drama happening. Anyways, we got a free dinner out of it, so that was nice. We spent over 3 hours at the restaurant and didn't have time to see a movie. Oh well. Maybe next time! :)
