To Blave

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about great love stories. I think it probably has a little to do with the fact that I recently started reading, became consumed with, and feverishly completed the Twilight books. Reading about that kind of love will do that to you…or at least, it does to me I should say. We’ve watched our share of romantic comedies lately too…and together I think they’ve all just got me thinking about love. New love. Exciting, thrilling, all consuming love.

Reflecting back on our Christmas season, I can’t help but be reminded yet again of all the love that surrounds us all the time. We are blessed. Immeasurably loved and blessed.
