7 Yr Anniversary

Yesterday, Dave and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. Our lives have been so incredibly frantic and stressful lately between selling our home, seeking out a new home or a rental for the interim, overwhelming work responsibilities, Dave's buildings and potential new renters, marketing SlimGym, school functions and projects, track for the girls, baseball for Dylan, our dear Papa Good's illness and time at Mayo and the thought of starting to pack. Dave and I have both said if we can make it through this period of our lives, we can make it through anything.

We are incredibly grateful for each other and took time to celebrate our marriage and take in dinner and a movie last night. We had put an offer in on a home yesterday which we didn't think we would get due to our luck lately in real estate. But while we were dining, we received a text from our realtor "Congrats Home Owners - Happy Anniversary!" It was such an amazing blessing and gift from God and such perfect timing! It truly gave us even more reason to celebrate. We are super excited and even get to move in without having to rent and move twice. What a relief off our shoulders.

When we arrived home, we found on the kitchen counter a card the children had made for us along with a bouquet of fresh lilacs from our lilac trees. It was a perfect ending to an amazing day. God is SO good. And the smell of fresh lilacs throughout the house is a reminder of His true beauty.
