Here I Come - Most Romantic City!



Now this card just says it all!  This ride describes our 33 plus years of marriage.  You know...the roller coaster ride of life.  I would still want to ride the roller coaster with my man.
May I say, I am not a roller coaster riding girl, so to even get on a roller coaster must mean 
I Love Him!

Our roller coaster ride continues.
I found out I was one of many experiencing SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder because of lack of sun.
It is real...who knew?  It wasn't fun and I now know not to move North.
Everyone around here was getting a little cranky.  There were enough affected by it that it made the news.


Joshua sent me my first ever Grand Mommy card.  Thanks to his mom!

Even though we don't look like the young couple in this picture, we are still a couple.

God in His mercy also gave my husband his first commission check since his employment six months ago.
Guess where we are going?

If you didn't see the post on this, go back so you can giggle and shake your head.

We are headed to the Most Romantic City in the United States...and I didn't have to go to that link to find my man!!  We will get to see my husband's 98 year-old-mother and walk in the sunshine
in our birth city.  I can hardly wait!

 Happy Valentine's to you all.  As Benjamin and I had our devotional this morning we talked about the greatest Love Gift of all...Jesus Christ.
He rides the roller coaster with us and sees the hills and the valleys before us,
Yet He never abandons us on the ride.
He sees us to the end.  May we hear Him say, "well done good and faithful servant!"

  4. I, too, experience SAD, but this Northern girl married herself a Southern boy and he has kept the sun shining our 33 years as well. As we age I only see us moving further south:) Have a wonderful trip and "Let the Sun Shine!!"

  7. I am wooting here! I love that you are actually going there. That was his plan all along with the email, wasn't it?

    You know that I completely understand about getting the commission check and the hope that brings.

    I said this in your last post, but I really am glad you determined that you needed the sunshine. I think I suffer from SAD. I really do. I have just never been officially diagnosed.

    Happy Valentines Day!

  19. SAD just MIGHT explain the tears I blogged about today....I've never been officially diagnosed. I keep thinking "I need to suck it up and survive....." Gets harder every winter.

    Enjoy your getaway. Hope there's some sunshine where you're going.
