Notes of LOVE!

When Andy and I got married 10 years ago, our pastor encouraged us to write down five reasons why we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.  We were not to consult with each other, and we were to dig into our own thoughts and understandings about our love for each other.  Then, we sealed them up and we only able to open them "in case of emergency" or at a milestone. 

On our recent trip to San Diego, we decided to take the envelopes with us.  Not for "emergency" reasons, but because of the "milestone" accomplishment.  As many of you know, with all the everyday, routine things in our lives, sometimes our relationships get put on the back burner.  Even thought everything is fine, all the romance seems to the last thing you have time for. 

We ended up reading our letters to each other on our trip and decided to write new letters to each other too.  We're going to seal them all together and then open them again in another 10 years.  

It was nice to get refreshed and refocused on each other!  Remember all the wonderful reasons God brought us together and getting a plan together to make "us" just as important as all the other priorities in our life.
