Look at us... all prettied up...15 years ago.
I have since ripped this dress trying to squeeze my mom body into a size 2 and the dog ate Greg's tie... I wear less make-up these days and he wears overalls and a straw hat...we have added grey hair, a few laugh lines, 3 kids, and acres of memories.
We are not natural planners, thankfully, because we couldn't have planned this life even if we tried. There is not a fight, a disappointment, a loss, we would change. Each moment is a memory. Each challenge draws us closer. Each day is part of a bigger story.
We like to think we live life a little left of the norm and we pray other's can enjoy a marriage as whole as ours. Our marriage is not perfect. It is not the marriage by which to measure your's. Our parenting is not textbook worthy, but our kids are amazing humans despite our sarcasm and flaws. Our life isn't for you, but our joy is. We want you to have this same joy.
How did we get here, you ask? God brought us here. It is by His grace and His love that we stand here today... make-up off, soul bared, and living life honestly.
So it is from this place we will start sharing the wisdom gained from living, loving & serving...I hope the posts that follow will inspire you to let go, experience a simpler life, & live in His plan.
This is not about the Sharp Life, this is about your life. Time to live it.
