Remember when you were a teenager, in love for the first time{s), and you'd wear your boyfriends jacket when he wasn't there so you could smell him?
Or you'd dab a bit of his cologne, or even just smell you clothes when you got home from a date, and remember him?

Jake {the bachelor} mentioned several times that he was himself with Vienna and I saw that during this season, too. He was silly and light hearted and seemed more comfortable in his skin around her. Though she wasn't my pick, I saw their connection and realness around each other.

Love is not proud
Love does not boast
Love after all
Matters the most

Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside

Oh how utterly important I am to the fabric of this family of mine.
So much so, that when I'm sick the whole family is affected. Funny how it took something like this to shine a spotlight on just how needed I am. And how I have a direct part to play in how the family functions, runs, performs.

While you're there, say a quick congrats to Madeline… she is a brand new married woman, as of yesterday!

The house is quiet.
Children are sleeping.
Dogs are sleeping.
Husband isn't home from work yet.
Just the sound of the keys being pushed in to create this blog post.
Just me and my thoughts.

I had a revelation today.
I can still do so much in this moment, even though this moment is so full and filled up.
At times it gets overwhelming, and I'm frustrated with my lack of time to devote to myself and my dreams.
…when I get to live this life with you…

To my beautiful wife of 7 years, who works her butt off raising 3 of the cutest boys on earth, maintains the house, and brings home the bacon as well. I love you so much and would be lost without you. I wanted you to know you're the only woman in my heart for all of time. I will love you forever. Love, A.
