Take 2

I have sat here for several minutes staring at my blank page, trying to figure out where to begin. This will be my second attempt at a blog within the last year. My first attempt failed miserably...and I mean MISERABLY! I don't even think I completed my first blog entry. However, it probably wasn't the brightest idea to try to start a blog right before I got married. My attempt at a blog drowned in pre-wedding planning and chaos. Now that I have started a new chapter in my life, I feel it is appropriate for Take 2 at a blog. A little bit about me and my new chapter in life:

I just recently got married in July to the man of my dreams. When I was in 8th grade I had to create a list of qualities I wanted in a husband for my Sunday School Class at church. It was quite a list...a page and a half long and I held onto until the day I said, "I Do." To my amazement God provided me with a husband that fulfilled every single one of those qualities and I never thought it was possible to find a guy that had it all. Not only did I think it was impossible to find a guy that had it all, but I never imagined he would provide the man he did for me to spend the rest of my life with! Let me explain....when I was in 5th grade, I had the BIGGEST crush on a boy in the 6th grade at my church. You know, the kind where if the boy even remotely looked in your direction you start blushing and automatically think he was looking directly at you and then you and all of your girlfriends start whispering back and forth about it... yea, it was that kind of crush. Well, my BFF at the time decided she would drop a little hint to him that I thought he was cute. Sadly, his response to her horrifying news was, "Eww, Gross." Way to shatter a girl's crush! So I moved onto my next little crush...however throughout the years that little girly crush on the first boy never really went away. 4 years later, when I was in the 9th grade, the same boy that said, "Eww, Gross" asked me to be his girlfriend. 6 years after that, I married my childhood crush. I cannot thank God enough for putting and keeping Josh in my life. I truly cannot imagine my life without him. He makes me smile, even in times where I just don't feel like it. He will do whatever it takes to make me laugh, no matter how stupid he may look in the process. He makes me feel like the most important woman in the world just by his touch. I could keep going but I will spare you all the mushy gushy details.
