DARE - Day 113

Christmas was great, because we both made good lists and I split them up between our families. I got a sewing machine, and a crochet kit. Now we just need to finish our improvements in the office and get a crafty desk and storage area where I can work/play.  We are no longer going to have a closet but an extension of the room. Here is a before shot.

The night before our devotion talked about symbols; like God's rainbow as a symbol on his covenent.  We have wedding rings for our symbols.  =) It is a reminder of our commitment and our growing love.

This week's dare is to do something out of the ordinary for your spouse to show your love. 
It is pretty hard to think of out of ordinary things. Especially when we seem to have a routine of helping each other out and doing things for each other already. Out of the Ordinary? This will take some thought and prayers.

Christmas Eve!

This is my favorite day of the year, better than Christmas to me. My dad's side of the family gets together after church and sings and dances like from Charlie Brown's Christmas. If I didn't have this family time, I would need more presents to make up for it. (kidding of course) So once the husband gets finished at work, we are taking the pup and presents down to open presents and then go to church. 
This is our first Christmas together, and I am super excited to be in each others arms on Christmas morning. I have never done Christmas at my Husband's parent's house so tomorrow will be a first. Usually they met there at 7am, don't plan on that. I wanna get up at seven, open our own presents and then make it up to his parents. Plus coffee cake, another of my family's tradition for breakfast. Good thing the recipe makes two round pan cakes, because we go to his grandparents house for breakfast too.
I just finished making the coffee cake and it is in the fridge, so all I have to do in the morning is put it in the oven.
I must admit I'm stubborn, I like my traditions and I need to open up more to my husbands, but I find it difficult since he doesn't talk about them with as much enthusiasm.

By the way Tuesday my husband brought me home a poinsetta! I love it, especially since I was looking at one in the store that day, but I didn't want to spend the money. He has been bringing home flowers for me everyday, that is his greeting for this week's dare. <3

Don't know the week, but we are on Day 105?

I deleted the blog for awhile as I did not update enough.  I am bringing it back up as to post about other things beside the devotion.  And Yes I do still love doing the devotion.
In fact, this weeks dare is about greeting your spouse in a specific way.

SOO, more reason why it was deleted, my job is behind a computer, I'm actually "working" right now.  So I've found I don't get on the computer at home anymore.  I used to play games online, upload/print pictures and videos, and check e-mails.  Now I go home a stay away from the computer. =/ That's why the blog faded.

Hopefully with a new me and new year I can start the blog back up.  I have plans for the new year, I will be a better Christian, start to actually walk my dog, and hopefully much more.  2011 shall be great, but first a Christmas in my own home with my husband and puppy!!
