Bedtime Routine

I think I'll go ahead and be the first to post on this thing besides Jon. I'm wary because I don't think my writing will be nearly as witting or enjoyable to read as other's in the family but you will all just have to deal! Coming home to family after being away for so long is one of the best things ever. I can not say enough how blessed I am by each and every member of my family. Staying with Dave and Heather brings such joy to my life, which makes the slight lack of sleep totally worth it. It was the bedtime routine that inspired this post. Each night little Meg gets ready for bed, lights dimmed in the house and they sit at the piano and worship together. Coming from a non-Christian environment for the summer and into this house hold that is just bursting at the seems with love for God and each other was amazing. Going on from that, I can't thank the men in my family enough for the incredible example of a Godly life they give me. I might just have the highest expectations possible for who ever my future husband will be because they will have to live up to what I've seen in my brother's and Dad's lives. And I'm not leaving out Mom and Heather here either, you both show me how to be the loving wife and mother I want to be one day. I love you all so much! Thanks for being a part of my life every day.

  2. Well done Christina, more posts like this and I won't have to do any work to scare off potential suitors. Seriously though, you deserve someone who is something special
