I'm using this romantic occasion as a opportunity to re-light my blogging fire. I've been at a loss for anything share-worthy. I lie. There's been many momentous occations as of late that I could have, would have, should have reported... the most exciting being the anticipated arrival of our THIRD child in January 2011! But, alas, due to this development I've been down and out and am still struggling through this pregnancy, hence me falling off the blogging wagon.
In other news, I am happy to report Bran and I have (this Thursday, technically) been married for FOUR whole years. I know that's baby steps as far as married life goes, but we've made it through some tough times, the birth of two children, another on the way, we've purchased our first home, and are still going strong. Our lives have changed tremendously since our single days but all for the better. We have truly been blessed.
As a
surprise anniversary gift, my thoughtful husband got me a special gift from one of my favorite photographers,
Maleah Matthews: a photo pendant necklace of a beautiful sparrow. As I was doing the bills, I (accidentally) came across the purchase information for the necklace, so unfortunately the surprise was blown. But when it came in the mail, I was still touched by the gesture. My husband explained that he had chosen the sparrow to remind me that I am never forgotten. He quoted the scripture from
Luke 12, where Christ teaches his followers that even sparrows that fall to the ground are not forgotten by Heavenly Father. Although I may, in the busyness of mommyhood and regular life, forget (sometimes) that Heavenly Father takes notice of me, how my husband remembers me is a sure sign that God does watch over me.
