In a nutshell, from all of this I've taken one huge thing away. God is good. All. The. Time. He's blessed me with an AMAZING family who made me feel so covered in love even from afar. He's blessed me with a job that in just 6 short months will allow me to be at home with my sweet husband every single night. God's given me a taste of what life is like without them. The last one is truly the most important because it's so so easy to take our family/hubby for granted but seeing how awful these past few days were without them has made my heart overwhelmed with joy for the next moments I get to share with them. Christmas isn't about presents, it's about sharing little moments with those you love. Below are just a few photos Jacob sent me from Christmas - my adorable husband & my sweet niece Chloe (who's growing up oh so fast) & my two incredible in-laws who have taken me in and treated me like their own daughter. Once again - I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
So I didn't have a huge, fancy Christmas dinner & instead of watching Christmas movies we had safety stand downs. This is the only life Jacob & I know and I wouldn't change it for the world. He tells me all the time, "I wouldn't change a thing about us because it might not end up with you as my wife," so I'm taking a page out of the Jacob Weaver book of wisdom. Our life isn't traditional but it's exciting and it's so full of love & that's something that never goes out of style.
Until next time,
xoxo Amanda
