I never really buy it when people say they have no regrets. Yes, you do. Everyone has regrets. And don't give the line about things working out the way they are supposed to so you wouldn't change a thing. I have regrets. About things that I have said or things that I haven't said; people I have been mean to and people I have ignored; the list goes on.
HOWEVER, I do not regret the heartache of relationships gone awry. I do not regret the hours I spent praying for a husband to love me and love the Lord. I do not regret all the tears and time on the couch eating ice cream. I do not regret watching my friends get married one by one and trying to wait patiently for my turn. I do not regret one single moment of any of that because I know the reason.
It was so that I could spend my life with Ross. I often wonder why this soft-spoken, curly haired, intelligent, wonderful man picked me. And since I can't figure it out, I am just extremely grateful. So, Ross thank you for picking me. Thank you for loving my loud mouth and opinionated self. You are such a calming presence in my life and I am so proud of the moment I walked down that aisle towards you.
He never even reads this blog by the way :) Apparently the news is way more interesting. Oh well, I will shout it to whoever will listen.
I have been pregnant two out of our three anniversaries. HMMM. Yep, we are expecting again. We have been so blessed and we are just thrilled. Amelia is so thrilled she has chosen not to nap today. I was really looking forward to an "Anniversary" nap, but that is not happening.
Ross gave me BEAUTIFUL white roses this morning and a card---I will post a picture later, must go because Yo Gabba Gabba is over.

ReplyDeleteCongrats! What a cute way to throw that in there! Amelia is a doll...I especially love the recent pic of her piggy tails!
ReplyDeleteI might have teared up at that post. Maybe because you are such a fantastic writer or maybe because of these dumb hormones. We'll blame it on those two things. haha. I'm so happy you and Ross have each other also. He fits into our family seamlessly.
