I prayed for you



"Cause every single day, before I knew your name I couldn't see your face, but I prayed for you. Every heartbreak trail when all hope failed. On the highway to hell, I prayed for you."


I prayed for you.

For so long.

Through heartache and blurry eyes.

Through headaches and moments of weakness.

For as long as I can remember,

I prayed for you.

I prayed for your unrelenting love even when I push and pull you away.

I prayed for your selflessness to give your whole being to your little family. 

I prayed to have someone to dream with and make dreams come true. 

I prayed for a best friend.

I prayed for us to share the load of life. 

I prayed for comfort in the form of a person.

I prayed to be lead home to you. 

I prayed to lay in your strong arms. 

I prayed for your rugged exterior, but delicate heart. 

I prayed for love, to feel loved, to have someone to love.

I prayed for someone to keep the demons at bay.

I prayed for your strength in my moments of weakness. 

I prayed for your support when I falter. 

I prayed for your forgiving heart. 

I prayed for your knowledge in all the things I come up short in.

I prayed for your humor that matches with mine and gets us both through the day. 

I prayed for your strong will and body so I could nurture and home make.

I prayed for healing from the past, for both of us. 

I prayed for you.

All of you. 


Now I pray for your happiness and that you feel this love I've always had in me, to share with you.

Happy Valentine's Day 2022

Shortest Month

It’s February!! - well the end anyways!!! The shortest month. Last week we woke up to heavy snow pounding down. This time of year is always deceitful, just when we think our part of the world is that much closer to spring-  the temps drop to chilling and a blizzard hits. Heavy snow that lasts until the sun shines bright each day and slowly melts away. At least there has been sunshine! Wonderful, wonderful sunshine that helps us survive through these dark months and guides us back into the light.  We've been doing a lot of house cleaning and greenhouse visits. Monday and Tuesday there was no school, so we hung out, were lazy, cooked good food. I started writing this as the kids skated around in circles at the ice rink. It was the last day open for the season. When things come to an end, they make room for new beginnings- like spring of course! But now, I’m finishing writing this a few days later. It was a short week, but it feels soooo long. We are ready for the weekend!  ...

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running throug...

I write.

Image
What an absolutely beautiful life.  Sitting on our front porch with my head on your shoulder, you turn to me and say “look at this little life we’ve built.” 💕  It’s been almost 7 months since I last blogged, so many times I wrote and never finished. I'm always writing. Always writing whats in my heart or mind. I write to express myself, whether it be my wedding vows or about my son's football team winning the youth Super Bowl . I twist and turn the words until they make sense and are ready for me to share out into the world. I used to paint, scrapbook, write poetry and have a ton of other hobbies to pass the time, but for now I just write and take as many pictures as I can. I'm busy building life, homemaking, home schooling, working when I do, trying to be a good wife, daughter, sister, friend and raising my three children- and that to me is the most beautiful poetic thing I can think of.  Someday, there will be time to paint, to travel, but right now, I'm exactly wher...
