*The following is all written by Wes. The Fighter ‘In the clearing stands a boxer, And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of ev’ry glove that laid him down Or cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame, “I am leaving, I am leaving.” But the fighter […]

I love this woman you are becoming. Thank you for writing what you did it is healing salve in old wounds, that have refused to completely heal. Your humility and sweetness have been pouring forth in your words and actions the last few months like never before…I am renewed with excitement and hope as we embark on this vow renewal. We may yet become the fruition of the marriage we both desire and envisioned from the beginning; let us stay this course. I love you and love this journey we are on.

Well shoot…you guys sure know how to make a girl cry! Love you both 🙂

nina, wow. i just read the proposal post (my heart was pounding for you, when he arrived at the hotel) and he really choked me up. 4 years in, a newbie to marriage, we’re treading those rocky waves right now, knowing we’re committed as can be. it’s inspiring to see love persevere and i’m so happy for you guys. i can’t wait to read more of your marriage series.

I’ll be waiting for the next post in this series 🙂 I have a few things to learn and I think you guys are an inspiration x
