A Time to Celebrate

There are seasons in life that call for more celebration than others. There are seasons in life that make it hard to celebrate at all. For us, this season has been that of the latter...however, as our birthdays approached, we decided to make a choice to celebrate and splurge a little too!

So for Matt that meant, having a few close friends over for a small gathering (sometimes fewer is better) with all his favorite brunch foods, a weekend to relax and go to Fork and Screen ( a movie theater where you can eat at the same time) in Downtown Disney and drum-roll please....a X-BOX (long awaited and much deserved).

For me that meant going to the Strawberry Festival, picking out a wedding band to go with my engagement ring (took a while to find the perfect one), a special day at work with my co-workers, a homemade from-scratch chocolate cake that my husband made, dinner out and a quiet night at home with one of my besties and her husband to end the evening.

We are blessed and finding ways to celebrate our life together...there will seasons of grief/heartache, but there will also be many seasons of joy...and in every moment, we are learning to grasp at the good in them all.

We are so blessed with wonderful family and friends who have stood with us and helped us to celebrate our birthdays...Its one of my favorite times of the year!
