Life

This week, the thought has crossed my mind more than twice, "I am very blessed."  In my heart I have realized that God has really provided for us this past year and he continues to do so as we continue to learn more about him and try to serve him.  Moving to Chicago was a big leap of faith.  I was comforted by an overwhelming sense of peace throughout the journey that lead us here.  We had many people helping us out in the transition.  I'm very thankful to people like Gary and Wendy Byram, The Mearse's family, The Thomas's, The Little's, and many others for providing answers, meals, help moving, etc.  We have found people here to be so open and helpful.  God really has his hand in this city and he's called us here to be vessels for him.  But, beyond moving transitions, God has also given me a wonderful man to walk this path.  

Chris is my best friend.  He's my buddy and I love spending time with him.  He has depth, humor, and is down to earth.  We have had such a great time learning to depend on each other as we learn to make new friends and settle into a new life.  It's truly amazing having a life next to someone who makes it easy to respect and love.  I'm reminded daily of what a gift marriage is to me.  I love him!
