We are one month from one of my new favorite holidays...Valentine's Day! Jason and I never really celebrated V Day when it was just the two of us because, well, we are cheesy and try to treat everyday like Valentine's Day. Now that we have Alexi, Valentine's Day grants us permission to give her extra kisses, hugs, presents, and sweets. At the grocery store today I found and bought the perfect card to put with Lexi's Valentine's gift. It says, "Owl Always Love YOU!" The card allows us to record a message for Alexi. I am already thinking about what we should say and honestly, my eyes tear up each time I think of a message. I'm pretty sure there will be a time limit to the recording. How in the world will we be able to express our love for our little girl in a matter of seconds? I know it's just a card, but I want her to keep it close to her heart forever. I love you is so easy to say, but so difficult to understand its depth. My prayer is Alexi will grow up and learn exactly how much and to what degree our love is for her. We (and all your owls) LOVE YOU Alexi!
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
