Fill in the Blank Friday

Following suit to my big sister whom I've always wanted to be like, I'm doing a fill in the blank Friday as well!

1.  The love of my life is Grant.  The best, strongest, kindest person I know.  

2.   Falling in love is  something I find myself doing again and again with my husband as the years pass. It's deeper and different every time, but I still get the butterflies!

3.  Marriage is  the most demonstrative picture of my relationship with our Lord.  And the greatest challenge.

4. The longest relationship I've ever had was   seven years with my man, Grant!

5. The key to a good relationship is   staying humble and mindful of how in NEED we are of His grace-it makes extending it to my spouse easier to do.  

6. I feel loved when I catch Grant watching me :)

7.  My favorite quote about love is   "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."


Also, it's very important that I give credit where credit is due.  Thank you so much to my dear friend, Hayley for creating the header for this blog.  Haylz, you are my absolute favorite person to tear up with over silly things as well as serious things.  I feel so blessed to have gotten to have your friendship during the first five years of marriage and now to have it as we both traverse foster parenting! 
 You. Rock. The Casbah.

Happy Friday, all!
