Today marks two very important events. First, we celebrate today as the birth of our country. I am proud to be an American, but not just today. We all take living in the US for granted. Everyone is free to live as he sees fit. I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be free and might write more about that. Anyway, Happy Independence Day!
On a more personal note, today is my husband's 25th birthday. He will be the first to tell you that he doesn't make a big deal about birthdays, let alone his own. Being my husband though, I do make a big deal about it, but probably not the way most people would. We don't get each other a lot of gifts, at least not for birthdays. Each of us get most everything we want or need during the year. So for birthdays and holidays we usually take some kind of trip or go do something fun together. TOGETHER. That is the point, isn't it? We would much rather spend a day or weekend somewhere special then unwrap a trinket with no meaning. We do give gifts, but sometimes a weekend getaway is much more enjoyable. I am so thankful for my husband and for the life we have together. Here's to more birthdays and years together!

On My Journey
I used to write all the time. I blogged about my daily life and when I was upset or stressed, it was an especially helpful outlet for me. And then weeks, months, even years later, I would go back and read about certain events from a time in my life; and I really loved it. I enjoyed reading about the job I had at the time or the things I was into and how they shaped me as a person. Remembering what I'd done then, whether good or bad, helped me in the future.
That was then. I do still enjoy reading those old posts once in while, but my desire to keep a regular online journal means something more to me now. It was just about me before. But now I'm married and have a family, and I take that very seriously. Granted, there are only two of us at the moment, but it won't always be that way. The past two years have been so special. I want to take down the moments of just me and my husband, living together and continuing to learn about each other. And when the time is right, this small family living in a cozy little home will expand. I want to capture the moments now and those to come.
