Joy

We've had a couple of pretty big bumps in the road the past few weeks. 

I was sitting on the porch, the kids were spying while matt and I were laughing and trying to steal away just a minute together, when it dawned on me, through it all, we have joy. 

I am so thankful for my

Marriage. For the blessing it is to go to bed and wake up beside Matt Siak. This week as we have been forced to deal with emotions we don't usually have to tackle, he has stepped up and met my every need. This month we celebrate 15 years since our first date. 15 years I've loved him. 15 years of knowing him. If I could go back and tell that naive girl long ago just how good she would have it, I don't think I would've believed myself. 

Today I am thankful for him. I am blessed to have him. My children are blessed to get to call him daddy. 

And this joy that is the thread that constantly weaves in and out of our days no matter the circumstance, I am most thankful for that.
