Today, on Veteran's Day, is my husband's birthday. He doesn't like his picture posted on the blog too much, but you will see him around and hear me talk of him often. We first met almost twelve years ago at the Tom Rose School for Dog Trainers (of all places). Yes, we were both originally dog trainers before pursuing our current careers! We still train dogs on occasion and hope it will be something Jeff can "retire" to, but even if it isn't, it has always been a lot of fun for both of us. Although we certainly didn't experience "love at first sight," Jeff and I believe God meant us for each other. Like many other people, we are still growing into God's plans for our family and living out His design for our lives. We have weathered many storms and seen many rainbows, but I know the best is truly yet to come for us!
These are some of my favorite verses on love in the Bible... so familiar, yet no less true.
This year, Jeff's birthday celebrations have been a little low key since we both had to work today. Yesterday, I was off, so the girls and I made and decorated some really yummy cupcakes! They were soo good! The time change has completely thrown all of our time clocks out of sync so the girls were too wiped to do any other crafts for Daddy this year. He received his gift about a month ago when he got his new puppy, Diesel, from Belgium. Diesel is a Belgian Malinois, a herding breed that is frequently used in police work over here in the States. They are high energy, intelligent, fun loving dogs that require a lot of training (a great dog for a dog trainer, lol).
Also, before I forget, I would like to express my appreciation for all the veterans of our wonderful country. We are grateful for the service, time, and sacrifices you have made for our nation.
