Wow! It's been 4 years since I have posted in this blog. Life definitely got crazy in those 4 years. We had another baby who is about to turn 4 in May. We left the military in 2014 and are now living the civilian life. We moved back to our home state of Georgia and live close enough to but far enough away from our families that it's not crazy. We are definitely enjoying the new experiences that God has given us but let me tell you they didn't come without a price.

I'll be honest here. Marriage hasn't been easy since we turned from military life to civilian life. Eyes were opened to a world that we never wanted to experience but we did and we have survived. God healed and restored a marriage that at one time we thought was great but really it wasn't. I can honestly say with no doubt in my heart that I am happier in my marriage than I have ever been. I am free of hurt and shame and pain and so is my husband. We found the true meaning of love. The love that only God can give us. Now we try every day with LOTS of grace to show that love to each other. We are definitely better at it now that we have placed God first in our marriage before each other and before everything else. I pray that God continues to strengthen our marriage each and everyday. We are still imperfect and we still need mercy and grace everyday. I am a proud wife and I couldn't imagine doing life with any other person besides my husband.

My heart has been restored to a passion for marriage like never before. So today I rededicate myself to my blog to not only write about my thoughts on marriage and whatever God gives me to write down but someday I hope that it is spread throughout the internet and encourages others to fight for their marriages and to fight HARD!!
