I prayed for you.

When I was young somewhere in between a child and an adult I started praying for you.
I didn't even know your name but I prayed for you.
I prayed for you many years before we met.
I prayed that if you had a test that day it went well.
I prayed that wherever you were you had a nice day. 
I prayed that if you were an athlete you had a good competition.
I prayed that if you had a girlfriend you were learning good habits to become a wonderful husband.
I prayed that wherever you were, you were happy.
I prayed for our future relationship and marriage.
I prayed that we would never lose the spark that made us who we were as the marriages around me had.
I prayed for our future home.

 Even though I prayed for you I was confused.

 I was confused why I wasn't always having the best days.
I was confused as to why there were bullies.
I was confused why I wasn't dating.
I was confused by the fact whenever I wanted to date someone a random act would happen to prevent it.
I worried that I had already met you and I missed the signs.
I worried that I would never meet you.
I worried that a random act prevented us from being together.

 When I met you I didn't know it was you I prayed for.
When I met you I didn't know that God had answered my prayers, each and every one.
When I met you I didn't know that all of those road blocks that had prevented other lives was God's answered prayers to find you.  
When I met you I didn't know that the winding path throughout life was bringing me to the great love of my life.

 I know God answers prayers, because he gave me you.  

 Happy 10th Anniversary Tom.

TV Shows that I don't care for, but I have tried really hard...

Image
I did a post on my favorite TV shows of all time, so now I am going to talk about TV Shows that I just don't care for, but have tried really hard to like.  These shows fall under a subcategory of "shows that people my age tend to like."  Many of the actors in these shows I like in other tv shows or movies, but I just don't like or am disappointed by these shows in particular.  Another thing to note is I have seen many episodes of each one of these shows and have given them all a fair shot.  Also, these are not in any particular order. Please don't be offended by this post as it is completely opinion based: Friends (1994-2004) - Most girls my age were and still are obsessed with this show.  I watched it in high school and college along with everyone else, but when I step back and actually think about the show, I never really liked it at all.  The characters were always making really bad decisions, acting slutty and not really caring about people around them; th

How did it get to be 2018?

Happy New Year!! I know I am 19 days late on the well wishes but 2018 was a rough start in my household. We got the flu and my husband and I were down for the count. We realized by the end of it that we haven't spent that much time together in our home since we first got married; but instead of it being a fun honeymoon busily settling into our new home it was a lot of cough syrup, chicken soup and video games.  The bright spot was I was able to introduce my husband to SNES' Zelda a Link to the Past. He had never played it!!  I know that game better than I know most things (I am a huge video game nerd) so it was fun playing it with him for the first time. I love making New Years resolutions, and I still did that this year but I am starting them a little late.  I decided the best way to get going with my resolutions is to share them on my blog.   1) Continue to Choose Happy:  A few years ago, I made some changes in my life and I decided to be happy and enjoy life.

New Years Resolution or Goal Setting?

Image
Every year I make the same resolutions; eat healthier, read my Bible daily and save more money.  Some years I have kept these going throughout the year and have done quite well but some years not so much.  This year I am not making resolutions but starting goals.  I know you may think that is the same thing but the difference is I am not going to hold myself to just this year, or if I fail in my goal I will just pick right up again and not wait until the end of a month or year.  Each day is a new day and if one day I fail, I will just pick up where I left off.   Here are some goals I am setting starting in this new year! 1) Eat/Live Healthier - This one is pretty self explanatory.  I need to stop all of my crazy eating habits.  I am not 18 and a distance runner anymore.  I cannot eat a pint of ice cream in one sitting.  (not that I have done that in many years, but you know what I mean.  I did eat 3 donuts in one sitting very recently.)  I am going to set the goal to work out as ma
