Happy pappy people...

I think that I am far too boring to maintain a blog these days. I'm happily married and the highlight of my day today has been sitting with a cup of hot tea on the computer. I don't even have a picture from this week to update. (Even if I did have one, the complex procedure that I would have to complete to take one, go to the library, upload it to the library computer, email it to myself, and then upload to a blog makes me shy away from it. For today I just wanted to say thanks and spread some cheer. 2010 has been such a year of changes and ups and downs and where I am today is such a different place than I expected. I am so happy with it all! 

This year started out with some major personal challenges with jobs and schedules and what I thought would be my pending doom when Phil left for a year to go to Columbus. Little did I know that in September I'd be getting married and following him there. I wished... but didn't think it was possible. There were those who kept telling me not to think the worst -Yes Lexi you did... I admit it freely.. ;) However I am one of those normal people who struggles with faith and while I believed that God had a plan for us... I was at a loss as to when and how things would happen. I let fear paralyze me far too often. I still pinch myself regularly and hug Phil - because we are really married and both able to live our dreams. We are together and he is finishing school. That is exactly what we both wanted. I will never be able to say that those years of waiting until 30 to be married were easy.. but I have been blessed to experience so many good things. I also feel encouraged that after going through so many personally difficult times, God is going to take care of us now when things are amazing, and in the future when things are difficult. Just in the way he has preserved my family and all of our relationships, and the gift of my husband - I am so thankful. I hope that I can re-read this post when I have a bad day and encourage someone else who is in that time of waiting before then end result comes. 

Life is good. God is amazing. Who knows what good thing he will do tomorrow!

1 Thessalonians 3:9
For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
