Reminders

One of the greatest blessings of this journey has been the opportunity to spend time with each other. Any of you who know what our life has been like the last 3 years can understand that quality time together usually consisted of photoshoots and basketball games. Or school dances and wedding shoots. But here we have had the chance to just be.  Something both of us struggle with.  We are trying to enjoy and soak in this time before our lives are turned upside down.  And for the most part we are. But we are also still us, serving every morning and afternoon at two different missions, and now possibly three.  But in each one I see and appreciate even more why i married Mike and why I can't wait to raise a family with him.  I see him playing soccer with the boys in the morning and i know he will do the same with our kids some day.  I see him helping the kids in the afternoon with their homework and i know he will do the same with our kids. I see him " flying" our friends little boy around the church after service and i know he will do the same with our kids. I see him dancing around our room to celebrate our court decree and i know he will do the same for every celebration we have with our kids.  So again i am reminded that god has a plan for this time and many blessing to pour on us. But he also has some reminders for us. And one of the greatest reminders i have gotten on this trip is that there is no greater feeling than knowing your husband's love for his child is second only to his love for you.  And that reminder makes every day in Africa that much sweeter.  To quote one of my favorite movies, " my cup runith over"
