I have been listening to the Jann Arden CD 'Blood Red Cherry' the last couple of weeks as I drive around. I had forgotten how much I like that album. It reminds me of living in Vancouver in the fall of 2000 as that's when I bought it and I was fairly obsessed with it and played it non-stop. I was telling Darrel that the song'Taste of This' makes me happy because it reminds me of all the good in my life that I have. While day to day life can be crazy I am immensely grateful for our little family and the security and love that I have with Darrel. A couple of months ago our Bishop asked to meet with us just to get to know us better and during the course of the conversation made the observation that 'you guys look very devoted to each other'. Darrel's response was that in me, he had finally found someone that cared as much about him as he cared about them. And I would have to say that I am blessed to have the same thing in him, and that is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

That is so beautiful- the lyrics, your words, the picture and the design. I admire the sense of security and warmth I get from you and your blog.
I am not quite "there" yet. I don't say this in a depressing way but we are always go-go-go, our future uncertain and always trying to work on the relationship. Everything happened so quickly for us that just recently have we been feeling calmer. I am aiming for the peace I see in your layout. Keep in mind I am writing this on the threshold of upheaval.
I think I will refer to this post of yours to remind me and encourage me to strive for that serenity even more.
I haven't listened to Jann Arden in ages - maybe I should dig out my CDs of hers and give her another go. I like how your layout expresses your own femininity, and the beauty of your family of boys. Lovely!
