He is mine.

we love our spouses.

or sometimes we don't but only for a short while.

while we figure out what we don't love about them we only figure out why we love them that much more.

I married Garth when I was 17.

Think what you were doing at 17?

I see people at 17 and think NO WAY. please don't get married you can not grasp that kind of affection.  

It was hard. I don't think I new exactly what I was doing. I don't think that I understood what it meant to LOVE someone like that.

I'm 26 now and we will have our 9th wedding anniversary in October.

everyday is a struggle with something.

kids, pets, house issues, family drama, friends

but I never struggle with how much I care about garth.

I know he will always be there. I've never doubted his loyalty.

he is a great friend, to those who have talked behind his back and to those who have done him wrong. he never says anything bad or mean about anyone.

so,, in honor of loving our spouse here are a few verses to pray over your husband. try for 3 or even 30 days not to say anything negative about your spouse.

1. Ephesians 4:1-2
2. Ephesians 5:25-29
3. Proverbs 22:29
4. Psalm 46:11
5. Jeremiah 29:11

P.S don't think I'm perfect because I am in no way. I sometimes catch myself judging others and I know its wrong. that I don't always follow our savior. but I feel like maybe I can help others who are like me that aren't perfect either. if you find yourself in a situation where you would like to discuss anything I'm always up for a friendly conversation. about anything really :)

its a craaaazy world out there.

HEY...

well. my baby is almost one, my second baby he is almost three.

I'm a big birthday person. I love birthdays, when I was younger I would have these really outrageous birthdays. I actually still like my birthday. I'm not a person who hates to get older. I actually like the thought of getting old. what if my 30's are better than my 20's. early 20's for me were ugh stressful. I'm so much more than I use to be. I understand more, I listen more, I fall out of subject more.

RUAIRI LINEA her birthday theme is....

Collins turning three and I'm excited he is going to start preschool. hopefully bringing out that little personality I know he has but hides. He is no doubt outgoing but he shys away a lot. He is now talking which is GREAT! not that I didn't love his own made up words and pointing.

his love for dinosaurs and toy reviews on youtube are unreal. YES, I'm that mom who lets her kids watch T.V. and YouTube reviews. Not ashamed.

here is a link to an outrageous family who puts all our families to shame (just kidding) but their trips are pretty great.

some things this mama loves:

A) Mac and Mia clothes box. their customer service is out of this world amazing. I wasn't home when my shipment came and you get five days to try the stuff on and send it back in a prepaid bag, and I wasn't going to be able to send it in that time frame and they totally extended my days.

B) Ozark on Netflix

C)The Office on Netflix ( former Parks and Rec lovers your will see a few of our loves)

D) not having FB its still so great. Because on the DL I don't care what you have to say I just care about those pictures.

E) Young Living oils here is my Member Number 12282035

F) kidizen App for used and new clothes. sometimes I really want a million outfits for Rua and I'm like ok I cant spend that much I get on there and som mamas are so good about their prices.
