Something old, something new

Over the weekend God has laid something so wonderful upon my heart. As I was alone Friday night it came to me, finally I realized that I just want to be happy and not having a baby is not going to make me not happy. Our marriage of 3 years has consisted of trying to have a baby because that is what we both visualized how it would be marriage then baby carriage but that's not every marriage and it certainly is not ours right now. So we are bringing it back to when we were dating, what did we like to do together, places to visit, places to eat, and so on. I am so thankful God has lifted this weight off my shoulders it was like he told me "It's OK my daughter I will make a peaceful place for you, I love you" and really all my fears, worry, guilt had subsided. Our family is a family of two and we are enjoying that time. This is going to be no easy task as it has been baby on the brain but being consumed is just not healthy.
So being Valentines Day I came up with this fun idea, since there are 11 months left I made 11 note card size cards and attached different date ideas on them with appropriate cash to do the activity. I wish I had a picture and maybe soon I will if I can find my USB cord but anyways dates included: movie night popcorn included of course, segway tour of St Pete, breakfast @ our favorite Dunedin spot, camping trip, Burns dessert room (menu included so we can get excited), Busch Gardens, lunch @ Jimbo's bbq, Greek lunch & aquarium in Tarpon Springs, bike & picnic, weekend @ Anna Maria Island cottage, and his birthday month is his choice for dinner!
Such an easy gift and really it works out for me because its obviously all things I like! So each month we will pick a card and make plans.Sounds fun right? Make some for the one you love!

"Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale" This was on our save the date card....now it fits in perfectly today!
