More than I deserve...

Three years ago, today, I married my best friend.

What an amazing feeling to know that God led you to the perfect person to walk through life with.
I’m thankful for AJ every day but especially today as we celebrate our 3rd Wedding Anniversary.
(JJ Heller - “Where I Land”)

You’re different from the way I thought you’d be
But here you are in front of me
So full of light I watch it overflow
A lovely mystery

And I am lost for words
You’re more than I deserve

You have a way of stirring up my soul
Did you know
When you hold me in your arms the way you do
It feels like coming home

And I am lost for words
You’re more than I deserve
And when I cannot stand
You are where I land

And when the years have stolen youth away
I will stay
You will be the keeper of my heart
Until my final day
And I am lost for words
You’re more than I deserve
And when I cannot stand
You are where I land
 

Love,
Elyse

Happy Thanksgiving...

Hello Thanksgiving.

Did I eat too much today? Yes.
Did I watch some football today? Yes.
Did I enjoy the company of my family today? Yes.
I’m one of those lucky people who is blessed with a large and amazing family. I enjoyed every minute with them and though they will never know how much I truly appreciate them…it was a lovely afternoon.
I’m thankful that my husband is my best friend.
I’m thankful for a wonderful family.
I’m thankful for fun and fabulous friends.
I’m thankful that we have jobs, homes, health and a country where we are free to celebrate.
I’m thankful that we take a day out of the year to eat great food, with amazing people to acknowledge how truly blessed we are in life.
I hope that your Thanksgiving Day was as wonderful as mine. I ate some delicious food, I enjoyed the company of my sweet family and ended the day snuggling with the pups on the sofa. A girl really can’t ask for much more.

Love,

Tuesday Thanks...

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

It's Tuesday...and after a long and stressful work day I'm thankful....
                                                                                                     ... that tomorrow is a new day.

What are YOU thankful for?



Love,
Elyse
