Love is...

Love is...
5 generations of women with hearts for God.
My grandmother, mother, daughter and grand-daughter. We've seen a lot the 5 of us, individually and collectively. We've cried, prayed, laughed, forgave. I can't think of a more wonderful group of women to do life with, to learn from and to love.
Love is...
a best friend for the last 7 years who knows what to say, when to call and when to be silent. We have done the better part of raising 5 teenage boys together, we've prayed through 3 new driver's, high school decisions, girlfriends, a marriage and a birth. We've travelled on home school field trips, sat through many a home school park day and have sipped more coffee together than I dare think of. She is Jesus in flesh even though she keeps telling me the brownies and ice cream won't add a single pound.
Love is...
23 years of friendship, 18 years as a couple and 17 years of marriage. A man who is more amazing than I can type about and my soul mate. I have had such a privilege of being married to my closest friend~ really, our only marriage book has been the Bible and our main rule not to go to bed angry or upset and out motto: "We don't hug enough". We've missed many a night of sleep, we've laughed, cried, prayed, loved and fought with all the passion in the world. We still got it goin' on and I thank our Lord and Savior sooo much for that!

I have a few other to share but you'll have to wait....

These are fantastic. There are only two generations of women left in my family. I look forward to the day I have a great grandbaby. Can't wait to see the rest.
