True love is when...
He lends me his gloves because I'm freezing and forgot mine // He washes the dishes after he's had a full day of work and night class // He lets me sleep in on Saturdays when he gest up for work // He lets me have the last bite of dessert.. hehe :) // He lets me pick the movie even if he'd rather see a different one // He cleans up my messes without complaining (because I'm the messier one) // He tells me he loves me.. but I already know
Birthday's are a strange thing. On one hand, I feel excited because I get to eat cake and blow out candles and open a few presents and hang out with loved ones and celebrate. On the other hand, I'm realizing I'm another year older, and I don't feel any older or look older but here I am, one whole year older than my age yesterday. Then I start thinking, am I where I imagined I would be at 23 when I was younger and thought about being in my early 20's? The truth is, when I was little (like middle school and younger) I always thought anyone who was past 21 was old old old, and that my life would be over by 23 because I'd be no longer a kid and I'd probably be boring and working full time and maybe even married. Haha! Well, I am doing all those things and I am happy to say that I am not only where I thought I would be at 23, but I feel like I have fully followed and pursued my dreams and have been blessed with far more than I imagined. So, while birthdays can feel a bit strange to me sometimes, there is no doubt that all I felt yesterday was overwhelmingly blessed. :)
Hope everyone had a fun St. Patrick's day! I know I did! <3
Lately, there has been a lot of reflection going on around here. Much like January--when I start thinking about the past year and goals/new plans for the year ahead, March is like a second sort of new year for me. Birthday, anniversary, the start of spring...a sort of freshness and newness fills the air. We truly finished organizing and decorating the apartment, the snow is melting away, the sun is coming out, and I feel so happy and content and spoiled rotten, like everything is too good to be true and I'm going to wake up from some long dream. Not that I have a perfect life by any means, but I do know I have no regrets. I am realizing it is easy to complain far too often, and its too bad. The Lord continues to bless me, and for that I am thankful, and God is a good, good God.
