Welcome New Blog Followers!Hope you are having an enjoyable weekend! My thoughts and prayers are with so many enduring Hurricane Matthew and the deaths associated. So many are packing up and moving to safe land, until this hurricane blows over.In the midst of so much going on in life, we have to choose to be happy. On October 4th, my husband and I celebrated 13 years of marriage! We enjoyed a short getaway back to Nashville, Tennessee, where he proposed. It was a beautiful weekend, full of surprises and happy cheer! Like all marriages, we have endured some rough days and trying times, but we are dedicated to building a strong marriage daily.
