Two years and we’re still loving each other
Today is Jason & I’s two year wedding anniversary. WE MADE IT THIS FAR.
The first six months of our marriage was sort of like going to the dentist to get a root canal WITHOUT novacaine. The second six months were a hesitant, hopeful recovery with the thought of going back to the dentist slowly losing its [...]

The mystery man in the women’s running shorts
Why, might you ask, am I making you look at a picture of a bunch of guys on a beach exposing their pasty white thighs and their unfortunate lack of clothing sensibility?
If you look closely, you might recognize someone. Or maybe you won’t. He certainly doesn’t look like he used to (well, except for the [...]

Marriage talk
J: Elisabeth, I love that I can get you a card with a cat on it and every time I know you’ll go “ahhhhhh cute!” and love it.
E: Really? You don’t think I’m a weird cat lady?
J: No, I think it’s endearing. I love that about you.
E: Really?
J: Yes.
E: What else do you love about [...]

33
Jason,
I can’t imagine living life without you. You bring so much love, joy, encouragement, healing, wisdom, grace, and fun to our marriage. You are a great father, too – I can’t wait to see Ian grow up following in your footsteps.
Happy Birthday. I hope 33 is your best year yet (Ian & [...]

1st Anniversary weekend
Monday was Jason & I’s one year wedding anniversary, but we spent the entire weekend celebrating (and then some). Part of the reason it’s taken me so long to post on this blog is because we did so much and I had to compile a lot of video and photos.
Let me just say, off [...]

Male labor (twice)
I’ve been out of the blogging scene this week because I’ve been spending my free time at the ER.
I am completely fine and so is Baby H. Jason, on the other hand, has been through quite a bit, having gone through what is considered to be as painful as childbirth: a kidney stone.
Or should [...]

More than love
It is no special anniversary or anything, but I was thinking about our wedding passage yesterday.
“And he is before all things and in him all things hold together.” (Col 1:17)
Then I read this from Deitrich Bonhoeffer, on Liz’s mom’s blog:
“Marriage is more than your love for each other. It has a higher dignity and power, [...]

When a man loves a woman . . .
. . . he will learn to love, or at least accept, her love of cats (or one cat in particular).
My husband is a prime example. When we were at Stehekin over Memorial Day Jason took short orders for breakfast eggs. My request was an over-easy egg in the shape of a cat [...]

A love that is greater
“To love anyone with problems, issues, addictions, and sorted pasts requires a substitutionary sacrifice. A love greater than one’s self.”
I read this on Liz’s mom’s blog today. She was referring to the story of Hosea and Gomer.
To be honest, the first thing I thought about wasn’t Jesus. It was my marriage (so you [...]
