Love is a feeling, Marriage is a contract, and a Relationship is work. -Lori Gordon

Any fool can have a trophy wife. It takes a real man to have a trophy marriage. -Diane Sollee

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. - Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy


The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make, not just on your wedding day, but over and over again and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife. - Barbara De Anglis

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
- Friedrich Nietzsche


I have found the one, whom my soul loves. Song of Solomon 3:4












The lyrics to two of my favorite songs........

I Will Be Here
(Steven Curtis Chapman)

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here
I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here.



'Til the End of Time
Words and music by Steve Green
The day we've waited fora time when dreams stand still.
We make a solemn vow,I hear you say you will.
You'll leave all others for the one you choose to take,
as you unveil your heart,the promise that I make.

I will have you and I will hold you until the end of time.
And through the changes, life rearranges I will have you
and I will hold you until the end of time.

And as the day unfolds into a memory,
I'll cherish you alone, your love has captured me.
The one who joined our hearts will hold us through theyears,
and in our darkest night, His promise calms our fears.

I will have you and I will hold you until the end of tiem.
And through the changes, life rearranges I will have you
and I will hold you until the end of time.

Happy Birthday Matthew!

Today is Matt's birthday. He turns 26 today. Yesterday we had a really fun birthday party for him. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, had a cornhole tournament, played softball & sand volleyball, and finished the evening off with a trip to the delicious Dairy Mart (ice cream shop) down the street. Since most people would rather see pictures than read my ramblings. Here are lots of pictures for you to enjoy. Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!
