Ponderings: Two years in the making.

Life is beautiful. I am a wife to the best friend and match I could imagine, I got my degree, I have cooked and baked my way through a couple of blogs and cookbooks, and seem to be able to find ample time to enjoy life.

Those last two are lies.

Life is crazy - It seems to be continuously full of loss, gain, successes, failures, new beginnings, stale crackers... But it seems to get better with time, or at least we are growing.

The best thing about my life now is my husband. Marriage is different than I ever imagined it being; it's better. I thank the Lord daily that I didn't get married when I begged Him to. He spared me and saved me for this man whom I respect more than anyone and laugh with on the regular. I have endured death with him, loss of hope, persecution, abandonment, etc... and through it all, he has demonstrated Christ to me. He has my back, and I have his. The funny thing? We've enjoyed every minute together in the flames, because we've had each other. I can only hope others can have this. It's amazing.

Here he is, the LOML, Mr. Thompson. 

It's been the best year of my life. 

Can't wait for the next 100.
