Yesterday morning I was reminded by my darling fiance' that I had not updated the blog in a while.... so, here I am!
I actually have a couple blog posts that I could write, if only I could find the time to translate the words from my quiet time journal to the computer. I will work on getting everything together and writing some updates within the next month or so!

But on to more important things!
I secretly think that Joe reminded me about the blog because he wanted his own special post but little did he know I already had one in the works.
So, my words today are for my best friend, the birthday boy.
So many times this past week I have found myself repeatedly thanking the Lord for another year with my precious fiance'. So often we get into a daily routine and never realize that we are taking so many things for granted until one day it is like a slap in the face and we realize God is "shaking" us saying "Hello! Wake up!" Or at least that is how it is for me. But one thing that I truly try not to take for granted is the love that Joseph shows me. Each time I pray and thank the Lord for him I am constantly reminded of the million and one reasons that I fell in love with him. He is gentle with me and so lovingly tells me when I need to get myself together when I am in a tizzy. He has the most perfect, forgiving heart. He calms me like no one else can. He is open and honest with me about what is going on in his life. He has a sense of humor that could make a brick wall laugh. His passion for the things he loves is intoxicating- if only I could bring myself to love hunting and fishing. And his good looks are only an added bonus.
I was blessed with the complete package.
Joseph,
You, my love, are truly a gift from God and I can only pray that I imitate your Christ-like actions day in and day out. I am so thankful for another year, a thousand memories made, and trillions of laughs with you. 21 proved to be an awesome year, but I believe that 22 may be the best yet! I wouldn't choose to spend this crazy and exciting life with anyone else.
Thank you for being my perfect companion and continuing to choose me after all these years. I am honored to live life with you and to be able to call you my husband in a month and a half. I hope today, and this year, is everything you wish for it to be.
Happy Birthday my love! I cannot wait to celebrate YOU all day!!
