  • Love, Rachel

    I am in love with your smile. It makes my heart melt. When you touch me with your lips the world around me disappears and for just a moment it’s only me and you. No time, no space, just me and you. You make my world a whole lot more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I am so thankful that God placed you at my breakfast table that Sunday morning. You have changed my heart and I fall more in love with you every moment of every day. You are my sunshine. I love you!

  • A beautiful heart

    Have a beautiful with your family baby! I’m going to read and spend time with our beautiful maker who blessed me with you!

  • Daily Excitement

    Rachel: I am so excited for today! I hope your morning is going well! :D

    Matt: I love how excited you get about each and every day. It’s beautiful.

    Rachel: Life is so beautiful, how can you not be happy? :)

    Matt: Just another reason why I love you so much.

  • Summer Road Trip

    We drove for over 60 hours and 3000 miles during our 9 day adventure with Florida as our most southern destination. On the way down we stopped in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor where we had good shopping, drinks, and a free room! Then we drove the the glorious Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. We eventually arrived in Myrtle Beach, SC where we had a huge and equally gorgeous hotel room right on the beach with good shopping and attractions nearby. The next day we drove to Savannah, GA where you can apparently drink alcohol anywhere you want. We experienced some great shops before getting trapped in a bar during a rainstorm, but it was fine with us because we ordered the best wings ever. Late that night we arrived at my families house in Tampa, FL.

    We stayed with my family for 3 full days and explored shopping, restaurants, beaches, rivers, and of course, the ocean. We got to see dolphins up close along with some wild monkeys! The beaches were gorgeous and the shopping was just as good as the quality of the food. Mhhhmmhhhmmm.

    On the way back, we hauled it 750 miles (by the way, 645 miles is your limit. After that you get kinda batty) on the first day and were blessed to stay with your friend in Virginia for free as well. On the last day of the trip we stopped to explore the Caverns at Natural Bridge in VA before making the final charge towards the New York border.

    Our entire trip could not have gone more smoothly, even though we did have to make some adjustments along the way. Another set of great memories in the books.

  • Morning Devotional

    We were up late watching Captain Phillips and overslept the late service at church. So, instead I went and bought you a coffee while you made belgian waffles. Afterwards, we went out on my deck to do a morning devotional together in place of the service we missed.

    We read 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 and talked about God’s patience and love for us and how we who are saved are appointed to lead others to Christ. We also talked about how incomprehensible His love is. Love is something that evolves over time. Forgiveness is hard. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting. God is infinitely patient with us even though He knows we are doing wrong. However, He also knows the ending.

    It was a beautiful morning and a great conversation. I love my girl and I love my God!

  • My Poem

    You texted me and said, “I wrote you an amazing poem”. To which my brain responded, “Oh Lord what am I about to read…”. Well, this is what I got. You always finds a way to make me smile or laugh. I love you for the total goofball you are.

  • Exploring Highland Park

    We went out for a big birthday celebration for all our friends that have April birthdays, but before that, we went for a nice walk in Highland Park just to breathe the new spring air and be with each other.

  • Outta Hand

    I cannot even begin to tell you how many things are outta hand.

  • Peace only comes after the battle has been fought.

    Rachel: I am not going to let grumpy pants ruin my girls night!

    Matt: Good for you. I don’t have that ability. I would have told her off.

    Rachel: I love that about you. I just like to keep the peace.

    Matt: I do too, but I just can’t deal with stuff like that. Peace comes after the battle has been fought!

    (Somehow I get the feeling you won’t love that about me when we have our next serious argument…)

  • K’NEX & Lego’s

    We sat in my bedroom for hours and built small K’NEX and Lego models while listening to some good beats. You built a “ship”, which was basically a pile of pieces and a few wings that you stuck on top of some wheels. I built some nifty models to put on my desk at work.

  • God only knows what kinds of animals live in there…

    While driving through the mountains and woods on our way to Baltimore one weekend, you looked out the window…

    Rachel: God only knows what kinds of animals live in there!!

    Matt: Actually, I think we have a pretty solid understanding of what animals live in the woods.
