Right where I need to be

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths. 

Proverbs 3:5-6

There is nothing like the peace of being right where you are supposed to be. One year ago today I married a man that allows me to let my hair down and be myself.  He loves me when I am feisty.  He loves me when I am having "one of those days" and I am very grateful for that.  He wakes up early to take our kids hunting and riding horses.  He starts my car in the morning to warm it up and brings me a Diet Dr. Pepper upstairs while I am getting ready for work.  He is a man of few words, but when he speaks I listen.  I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him ~ my husband.  I love you Randal Bonds! Happy Anniversary!
