Life is simple and we're blessed

Saturday started out as a hard day.  You know those ruts of life that you get in sometimes that just drive you to an emotional breakdown/insanity? Well that was Saturday morning for me. Between the pregnancy horomones and the grey rain outside, I was a grumpy crying snot blowing woman by 9am.  For reasons I couldn't articulate. Which irritates me in itself because I like to know why I am irritated by the tiniest of things and why I just want to go curl up in a ball and cry!

I'm a shower crier. So I went and cried in the shower, after being encouraged to do so by my husband. I started writing this because I am just so thankful that I married such a thoughtful, considerate, sensitive-to-how-I'm-doing man.  He knew I needed some extra TLC. I wanted to tell him why, but really didn't even know why but he didn't care why or why not...he just showered me with some really good lovin and TLC.

After pushing me into a hot shower, turning on some soft music, letting me cry on his shoulder, holding me tight in his arms, looking into my blood shot eyes, and taking some deep breaths together, he said "if you could do anything this morning, what would you do?" So on that note we went to my favorite coffee shop, drank yummy coffee and ate a yummy pastry. Doesn't all quality time involve coffee and pastries? YES :)  

We talked about us and this baby in my belly. We read our bibles and talked about funny, stupid mistakes we've made and learned from. Talked about our future. And suddenly my soul felt light again. Suddenly those stormy dark clouds covering my view of my wonderful husband, my gracious Savior, and my blessed life were lifted. 

And this is why I am utterly, on-my-knees grateful that God saw it fit for me to marry when I did. Because Zach's love continues to change my life. He helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel. He reminds me of God's great love. He reminds me that its okay to get this way. He reminds me of who I really am. He is the one who puts his hands on my shoulders, his nose on my nose, and looks me in the eyes and reminds me that life is simple and we're blessed.  Thank you God that I get to talk through life with man.
