I'd like to give a toast

My dear friends, I am married. I married the man of my dreams (and of my prayers) - 3 weeks ago and living with him is the best thing on this earth. He is an adorably strong man who loves me so well and is teaching me (though he does not know it) how to love better. So, we are happy in our home - the tree is up - the rooms are clean (for now), and our closets are full of years of accumulation of books, old school papers, magnets, pictures, receipts, and other things we simply cannot let go of.

The past 6 months have been filled with a marriage proposal, wedding planning meetings, eagerness, readiness, a little arguing here and there, and great anticipation of the day we would be united for the rest of our lives.

So, today - as we embark into the new year with 1 month of marriage (almost) under our belts - I'd like to give a toast to my new husband. There is no man on this earth that comes close to having the heart that Chris has, or the handsomeness, or the smile, or the gentleness. 3 weeks in I am in love with my husband - and am grateful to God for giving me the man of my dreams. So, here's to parents who loves us, a God who gives abundantly to us, and to a life that we can look forward to - both here on earth and in Heaven. To God be the glory! Cheers!
