smitten

not only did my friend sharon of smitten photography snap these oh so fun photos for our christmas card, i look at these pictures , and reflect and feel as if smitten describes my feeling for taylor in the last six months best. im crazy about him, in love with him, have the most most fun with him, argue with him, be myself completely with him, change with him. i guess thats how i would define marriage these days ha.
  i know moving to co was the very best thing for our marriage. we have learned so much in the last 9 months. we have walked through some really hard times wondering if we were foolish, selfish or blind moving here.  many times we have pleaded with god for changes in our jobs, shaping of a community,  time in our schedules to be together. we have had moments on top of mountains literally were we say is this our life? i love it !  I think this is exactly where God wanted us wondering, questioning, loving, living, growing .

as we have been studying Ecclesiastes in church and i have been reading Jeremiah in my time with jesus. i realize i will always be chasing the wind using an idol to fill a hole in my heart. i realize that if i had everything i wanted here and now i would not need a savior i find myself desperate for daily.
i realize the sweetness of the story jesus is writing in our lives in my life when i slow down... this has been such a great place for me to do this so thank you for reading and being apart of our journey .




here is our official christmas card a little late on the blog hopefully your received it in your mailbox
if not joy.. from the rockies :)



one last reason im smitten when i beg him to climb the tree and put lights up to the top , because it would not be christmas wtih out a big lit tree in front of our house he does it smiling
