it's not how i imagined...

it's so much better.

k and i were driving home from an amazing weekend with our sweet, wonderful, amazing, loving families and i realized, this is it.  i am living the life i have always "wanted" without knowing i had even really wanted it (i dont know if that makes since, but it does to me).  i am so in love with my husband and i love our little family and our sweet little home.  i love my in-laws. my family loves their son/brother. God has blessed us immensely. we have real community family all around us in Manhattan.  we are being challenged and growing closer to Him daily.  we are learning what his forgiveness and unrelenting grace looks like as we experience living with each other daily.  we have finally learned that it doesn't matter how you load the dish washer, sort the laundry, or fold the clothes... its not worth a fight.  we are finally learning how to enjoy each other... and enjoy and find joy in Christ together. 

all that rambling to say... i am blessed, challenged, loved, and growing EVERY single minute of the day.  i would not have put those fights with loved ones, those moments of selfishness, the anger, forgiveness, and all the other "annoyances" into my imagination of my future... but i wouldn't change it for the world.

enough rambling.
happy monday.
