Our Eleventh Anniversary: Musings & a Marriage Playlist

March 8, 2019 by Aprille 2 Comments

It’s 4:38 a.m. and I’m awoken by a child who needs his nightlight fixed…and a snack. When I crawl back into bed a few moments later, I breathe a sigh and lay my leg to rest across the back of my husband’s calf. He sleeps on his stomach, yet even in his sleep, we somehow … [Read more…]

We’ve been talking about our 10th anniversary for several years now. We’ve been throwing ideas at each other of where we should go, what we should do, how we should celebrate.

What I learned in March 2015

March 31, 2015 by Aprille Leave a Comment

Linking up today with Emily Freeman, sharing all of the random things I learned in March. 1. The best TV romances are the ones you don’t see coming…especially between your two Grey’s Anatomy / Private Practice favorite characters of all time. This needed to happen. And I’m so glad it did. 2. The Grey’s Anatomy … [Read more…]

How we’ve made it through seven years of marriage

March 4, 2015 by Aprille 3 Comments

I read a statistic a few years ago that said that when marriages dissolve, they often do so around year seven of the marriage. That thought kind of frightened me. I kept seeing SEVEN looming in the distance, wondering if we would be able to make it over that hump or not. This Saturday, we … [Read more…]

He’s gonna have all of me {an anniversary post}

March 8, 2014 by Aprille 8 Comments

I’ve realized that you never really stop being scared of marriage because you have to trust God to hold it together when life keeps throwing crap at you and you are just holding on to each other for the ride.

Beauty in the Mess ~ Edition 03.24.13

March 24, 2013 by Aprille 4 Comments

Is life ever not messy? For the first time in days I actually find myself with a moment of quiet and access to my computer, but words are failing me to fully express the mess that has been my life, our lives, for the past few weeks. All I can say that it’s been messy. There … [Read more…]

The Best of Five Years

March 9, 2013 by Aprille 12 Comments

Yesterday was our 5th anniversary. Five years is a pretty big deal. We’ve been through a lot in those five years. We’ve spent two of those years apart. It’s been a long five years. But, as hard as they have been, they have been a good five years. I would like to commemorate this event … [Read more…]

A symbolic anniversary gift (that keeps on giving)

March 7, 2013 by Aprille 7 Comments
A symbolic anniversary gift (that keeps on giving)

“A rosebush is a much better picture of what marriage is really like. It has thorns. It is beautiful when it blooms, but it’s rather plain looking the rest of the year. It’s very much alive, but it isn’t always stunning or colorful. In the same way, marriage isn’t this wonderful, breathtaking thing day-in and day-out. Sometimes marriage just a thorny green bush. But the times when the beauty comes through in stunning blossoms makes the plain times, the painful times, worth it all.” The best anniversary gift I’ve ever received…a rosebush that keeps on growing with each passing year of marriage.
