sappy and all that jazzzz

So since I am really missing my boy and I have yet to hear from him except a voicemail he left me earlier saying....... BEGINNING PART: Hey, babe I love you... MIDDLE PART: yadda, yadda, yadda.... and..... LAST PART: If I don't call you for awhile or I don't answer when you call me back it's because I'm out playing with all the toys!!!! Oh well I guess I'll hear all about it when he gets home, if he comes home.... lol.... Any who, I have been wanting to type up our vows for awhile now and just haven't sat down to do it. Well since I was feeling all sappy and missing him I typed them up. For your viewing pleasure!!!

Lauren-

You are the love of my life.

Christ himself brought us together and in Him alone we shall stand as husband and wife.

Romans 8:16-18

The spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. And if children then heirs- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified together.  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 

Lauren I promise that through thick and thin together we will walk hand in hand and side by side through whatever life may bring.

I vow to always seek God first in every problem and every decision in our life. I vow to be faithful, honest and always give you truth because you deserve nothing less. I will protect you and our family with my life.

Phillip-

Babe I love you with all my heart. You are beyond special to me. Many people search a lifetime for their one true love however I have been fortunate enough to have loved mine since I was 16 years old. I promise to encourage you and inspire you, to laugh with you and love with you. I promise to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle. I promise to love you in good times and in bad. When life seems easy and when it seems hard. When our love is simple and when it’s an effort. I promise to speak and to more importantly listen even when it’s difficult. I look forward to spending the rest of my life caring for you, nurturing you, and being there for you in all life has for us! You are the love of my life Phillip and I am honored to walk side by side with you forever.

**When I read those I remember how much I love that man and just how much I appreciate everything he does for our family! I am so blessed that God allowed me to marry him and share our lives together.......

not a year it's only 4 days

I miss my hubby. You know they say distance makes the heart grow fonder… I don’t know about all that but it sure makes me want him back, and it’s only been exactly 28 hours since I kissed him goodbye. Anyways, backing up…… This week was a busy week I was working, he was working, and then he was working extra jobs, we have had insurance issues as far as coverage for Tensley goes, and we have had tax return issues… UGH… It’s been a long stressful week, nothing is resolved and now to top it off my hubby is gone. Since we got married we have only spent 1 night apart and that was because he was working a different shift at work. I miss him!! I’m sure you’re wondering what great adventure he is on… seeing how it must be something so amazing that he would be willing to leave his AMAZING wife and BEAUTIFUL baby girl for a year… OK… not a year it's only 4 days but it might as well be a year. LOL. The only thing that can keep my man away from his family is……. HUNTIN’…… I am so glad that he got to go this year, it is his greatest passion (thank you Jason)!!! Due to our busy week and the fact that we didn’t want to spend the only free time we had this week cleaning , it was TOTALLY put on hold!!!! I have clean dishes, dirty dishes (yes I just admitted that), clean clothes, dirty clothes, shoes, jackets, and huntin’ gear everywhere…… WHAT…? Don’t judge me I didn’t invite you over and pretend it was clean…. I know it’s a HOT MESS!! My only weekend plan: Get this place in tip top shape!!!! Everyone likes to come home to a clean house.

silence and love

The Saturday before last we had our first kid free date in hmmm 3 months (as of Wednesday). It was amazing!! We went to a birthday party for dinner and by 8:30 Tensley had already had enough… As we were heading home Phillip looked at me and said that we should go out. We were already dressed up and my cousin was down so she could stay at the house once we put the kiddo down (I haven’t gotten up the courage to really leave her with anyone while she is awake yet) because she usually goes to bed at 9:30 and we don’t hear from her until 7:30-8:00 (jealous... OR WHAT). I quick texted my cousin to see if she would come over, and of course she agreed. However she was a little disappointed that we had already bathed her, fed her and she was down for the night by the time she got there. Phillip and I decided to go see a movie (No Strings Attached) I was a little worried that he might not stay awake but he assured me he could and would. Only to find out later that he took 4 B-12 pills before we left in hopes that he would actually be able to stay awake.... :-O <-- insert my shocked face here…… We talked, held hand, kissed and loved each other the whole time! It really reminded me of when we were in high school and the movie was the place to be…. That was where we had basically all of our dates. My boy stayed awake for the entire movie and we lifted the armrest and held each other the whole time (his idea) it was so sweet. It really made me realize that we need to get out just the two of us more often. Even though it was only 3 hours of us time it rejuvenated our relationship. I’m so lucky I get to love him every day.
