May 12, 2017 Abby6 Comments

  A marriage is not about a wedding day but a lifetime of shared days and hours, minutes and experiences.  It is about friendship, companionship, compromise and selflessness.  It is a long term togetherness in all things.

I wrote this post 3 years ago on Josiah’s first birthday and today, on his fourth birthday, it still stands so true.  Today we celebrate a 4 year old who can light a room with his smile, jumps into each new adventure and relationship without abandon, knows exactly what he wants and when he wants… Continue reading I Still… Should Have Known

I Found My Spot
