Logic? Who needs logic...

So I should be finishing up my assignments for the week of classes but blogging sounded much more fun... It's been ridiculously hot here this week (heat index of 100* +!!) so we have spent much of our day indoors in the air conditioning which I am beyond grateful for at the moment.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to get to go away overnight for a girls weekend with my mom and sister and little peanut. We drove about two hours out of town into the big city to go dress shopping for my mom and dad's 25th wedding anniversary. My parents are a true testament to what it means to be in love. They have been through it all, ups and downs; including multiple jobs, moves, 3 kids, 1 grand-baby and many sleepless nights provided by each of us. 

As our two year wedding anniversary roles around with my husband, I can't help but to be grateful to have found my soul-mate in life. Through each passing day, we get to learn something new about the other and we have been through more battles as a couple and individually in 3 years together then most people do in a lifetime. And yet, through it all he has always been my rock, to keep me grounded. While there are times I think it would be nice to have someone who delivers me flowers on a weekly basis, or who surprises me with little gifts on occasion, I remember that the greatest gift of all is his unconditional love and support. We may not have the nicest cars or brand new house or thousands of dollars in the bank, but what we do have is a love for one another and our child and the moments that we will never be able to purchase; such as Lili's first time at the ocean last summer or the sporadic ice cream dates on these overly hot evenings or taking in an evening sky of stars in the warm summer sky....and for this, I am grateful. 

So if you are so lucky as to find someone to love you through thick and thin, whether 2 months, 2 years, 25 years or an eternity; grab hold and don't let go. True love is rare, and romance is even more so....

" There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore the logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it" ~ Judith McNaught
