The Luckiest!!

I have not blogged in quite a while so I will have to back track to some very important events that have passed.

Last weekend we went on a marriage retreat with our community church group. It was AMAZING!! We returned from the weekend away in beautiful portsmouth feeling really great about where our marriage was at and how our first year finished, but at the same time we felt encouraged to make more positive changes within our marriage. For example, really express the appreciation for the little things we do for one another. Sometimes it can be so easy to forget to share my gratitude. So here, I will list all the little things I love about my husband Ben.

I love...
When he kisses me on the nose and cheeks
makes my coffee for me every morning
brings home little surprises just because... like my favorite candy or a starbucks coffee
waits up for me when I have homework so we can go to bed together
takes me out for a date night every week
pays all of our bills to take the worry off of me
...and so much more

He really is so good to me and I couldn't ask for a better husband. I am definitely a lot to handle and very emotional so it is crazy to think he actually puts in the time and effort to understand me. I really am so lucky!
