7 Years


*Disclaimer: I was going to post this on our anniversary but as I bent down to load the pictures my knee popped out of socket and I went down. So, you get it two days late. It doesn't really matter, though. My love is even stronger for this man today.*

Like any little girl I dreamed about my future husband. Would he drive my pink corvette like Ken? Would he sing like Jordan Knight? Would he have long flowing hair like Sebastian Bach? Would he wear flannels like Eddie Veder? Fortunately, he was like none of the above! He was better!

I met Scott 13 years ago at Chevy's Mexican Restaurant. I was a hostess. He was a bus boy. I think one of the first times he saw me I was walking to the back getting off work crying because my high school boyfriend had just broken up with me. Lucky for him:) I remember we began talking; he leaning on the chip holder, I at the hostess desk. It was nearing my 18th birthday when I asked him to walk me to my car. I asked him to go to The Shack (a totally cool dance club) to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately, we didn't meet up that night but began to talk regularly on the phone. Our phone conversations would last for hours. I don't remember what we talked about for that long but it doesn't really matter.

As our relationship flourished, we became amazing friends. Best friends really. Our first date was on May 27, 1996. Before our first date I remember looking on the schedule to see what Scott's last name was. Fish? Really? If I married this guy and started teaching I would be Mrs. Fish. Hmmmm. I think I knew then and there I'd marry this guy.

Through the years we have had our ups and downs; trials and tribulations. We were kids when we met and somehow have become real-life grown-ups with two kids and a mortgage. Through all this, I cannot fathom spending my life with anyone else. He is my everything. He cheers me on when I feel I cannot go any further. He is my rock when I am shattered. He challenges me like no other. I desire to do more; be more because of him. He loves me more than anything else in this world. I could never out love him. His love and devotion to our children is like nothing I have ever seen before. There are not words perfect enough to describe what a truly magnificent man Scott is.

I am the blessed one. I wake up everyday next to this perfect gift God created just for me. How awesome! I am in awe when I look at him wondering what I did to receive this precious gift. I am so excited to turn the next page and live out the love story God has written for us.

Forever Love Through Eternity,
Meg

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold...

The Promise Land

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 We Christians like this verse; like A LOT. We have it written all over the place. We hang this verse up in our home and tattoo it to our bodies. Jeremiah 29:11 is everyone's life verse. I mean, who doesn't want to rest in knowing the God has a plan for our life; especially when that plan includes safety and prosperity. Even if I didn't believe in God, I would hold onto this verse. What if, however, we have been misinterpreting this verse all these years? This life, the here and the now, we like it. Well, some of us probably want to throw this life in the trash like a rough draft and have a do-over. But, for the most part, we hold onto this life for dear life. It is all we know. It can be scary to think of anything else. Because of this, we go all in even when the cards we are dealt are bad. Thi...
