In love with love

Just yesterday, Josh and I were sitting out on our little stoop in the back of our apartment with Rigby, soaking in the cool breezes after having exhausted ourselves at the gym. Rigby was playing around with a popsicle stick, and I just had that overwhelming rush of love - love for a dog? I know, I know... it's silly. I have that overwhelming rush for my husband too fairly often, and I love it. I love the feeling of being in love. And the coolest part? is that it grows every time. Every time I fall deeper in love with Josh, I feel more connected to him than anyone else in this world, and I feel like I would be a mess of tears and snot if he ever left. I'm so thankful for the feelings of love that I have for him, (and Rigby). I'm thankful that God is blessing our marriage day by day, and I'm thankful that we're holding strong to each other. In August we'll have been married a year - which doesn't seem like a long time at all, but it feels like a lifetime already (in a good way!). I'm also thankful for the beautiful weather, the warm sun, the leaves on the trees, the birds chirping. I used to love waking up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window at Pleasant Valley. I'm thankful for our apartment, and our incredibly nice landlords. I'm thankful for days off from work, and helping friends move into a new chapter of their lives. I'm so excited for Becca to finally have the apartment she's been waiting for. I know how it feels to want to be in a place of your own that you can have fun decorating and putting your own homey touch to it. Anyways, Lord, you are so so good to us time and time again. Whether we ask, or don't ask - you always have a gracious heart, and you shower us with grace and mercy. I pray that you would give us wisdom financially, and I pray that you would bless others as you have blessed us. Amen.

Love, Sara
