When I was paralyzed just a little over 15 years ago I knew I still wanted to find love, settle down, get married and make beautiful babies. Nothing was going to stop me.
I just didn’t know I would find this man.
I didn’t know that we would make these beautiful babies.
In fact, I didn’t know what our life would look like it all.
Fast-forward just over 12 years and our life is pretty awesome. We just bought our second home, which I’m having a blast decorating. Well I’m planning the decorating. I haven’t done much just yet. I am planning an initial wall in our kitchen and this is my first piece from Personal Creations. I love how it starts with our wedding date! We truly became one.
We’ve also been homeschooling our 3 children now for just over three years. That’s always amazing but we wonder if it’s the right choice. If we do ever go back, I wouldn’t trade the time we’ve had for anything in the world.
I am beyond blessed that my prince charming can provide well enough for us that I can stay home with our children. There have been times when he’s forgotten flowers or cards but the gift of being home? That makes up for it.
My prince charming and I will be celebrating our13th Valentine’s Day together this year and it is a far cry our first. I still remember what he bought me. Pearls. They were rather lovely, I still wear them. They might be one of my favorite gifts for him.
The part you weren’t expecting? I was in the hospital on this weird air bad that blew sand at me to help with circulation because I couldn’t get up. I was recovering from a surgery to remove a horribly infected pressure sore. We have been engaged five months at this point.
He was with me for better or for worse even before we said I do.
This is the first year in quite a while we will have a sitter for the boys. I will update with a future post on how lovely our date was.
