Crazy SAD week!

Okay, so does it blow anyone else's mind how many celebs have passed away in the last week? I know that millions of people die every day, and that each one leaves a hole in the lives of those they leave behind, but it still seems so odd when 4 high-profile individuals die within one week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It never ceases to amaze me how well Austin and I fit together. It's almost as if we were . . . made for each other! lol!

Okay, I know that sounds really corny, but it's absolutely the truth. But not in the way that it's portrayed in movies and books and on TV. In the Hollywood version of made-for-each-other-ness, the stars align, there are violins and fireworks, and the main characters just "know."

I'm finding, though, that in the "real world" it's even more wonderful because you find out a little bit at a time. The pieces coming together a little more every day. I think that is so much better than a huge "a-ha!" moment, because what can compare to that one moment? We're learning to treasure the tiny moments :)

Some of the pieces were obvious, like the ones in the first picture. Austin is a financial whiz, and I'm definitely not. Where I'm emotional, he's logical. I am consistently in awe when I see another area in which where I leave off, he picks up, and vice versa.

Some of the ways that we mesh together are a lot more like this:


(Yes, those are puzzle pieces, to see them put together, click here, how cool is that?)

Can't help lovin' that man of mine! Praise the Lord for this beautiful mystery called marriage! :)
