Happiness

I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to be relaxing, reading, cleaning only if I feel like it, and hanging out with my husband on a beautiful Fall day!  Her Daughter's Dream is halfway read, the house is halfway clean, and chili ingredients are on the counter for tonight.  The Vols play football today, and, no matter who wins, I am just thankful to have my husband home to watch the game with.  I LOVE that he doesn't have to work on Saturdays anymore!  Nope, it's not all roses...I am pretending at least until tomorrow that I don't have any homework.  On this bright, sunny, October day though, things in my world are pretty good.  Thank you God for lovely weather and husbands at home!!

Introducing...My Best Friend

This is him.  My cute husband of almost 4 years.  Look at that smile.  We met about 6 years ago and were immediately friends.  It took him a while to ask me out but he managed eventually.:)  We had so many things in common and had so much fun together.  It felt like the most natural thing in the world to be with him.  It still does.  These past 4 years haven't been the easiest-I have been in school pretty much the whole time.  Chris lost his job last Spring and I quit working completely to go to nursing school.  We were blessed, however.  We were able to sell our house amazingly fast and we moved into his parents' house just in time for me to start school.  Whew!!  We have been challenged but we always stick it out together and have faith that things are going to work out.  Chris works sooo hard to provide for us and I could not ask for a better husband.  I know that he is always there for me.  Our favorite times are the nights after school and work when we can just sit together and watch one of our favorite shows.  We love to travel, spend time outdoors, and cook together.  I thank my God for this best friend that he gave me and look forward to many more years of love and fun together.
