Where do I go from here?

Even an hour ago, I would not have guessed that I would be sitting here posting my first blog.
I am not exactly sure what I hope to accomplish with this, but I just sense that this might just be exactly what I need right now. You see, I am preparing to embark on a special mission. I will be supporting my husband as he travels half-way around the world to fulfill his responsibility as a Sergeant in the Iowa National Guard in the country of Iraq. It is a journey that I am actually looking forward to taking, if you can imagine. My life seems to be one long series of events that never cease to amaze and surprise. A series of opportunities for God to demonstrate His great and unending love for me. I can only imagine what He has in store for me this time around.

I am just 28 minutes from being able to celebrate the day that most significantly changed my journey in life. It was May 21, 1994 that I was finally able to marry the man that just 6 years prior to that had been the boy that stole my heart. These past 14 years of married life have taught me more about forgiveness, passion, generosity, contentment, commitment, service and love then I could ever have imagined. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. We have just been so blessed. I just can't imagine how our love could get any better, but every time I turn around it just continues to blossom and grow.

Join me as I explore my undying love for Shane, the trials and tribulations of being a parent (especially a single one), and all the other quirks and qualities that makes me who I am. Together we can get to the bottom of who I am - heart & soul. :)
