Navy Pier

7 years ago on October 2, I got engaged to the man of my dreams.  This year the date came and went and I didn't even think about it.  At first guilt overtook me, but then I thought, wow I'm actually moving on.  I spent that day with JM at the bear's game and had so much fun.  I think it was all in God's grace that I could smile today and think of what a wonderful day that was at Navy Pier when P proposed then smile again at the hope of one day having a memory like that again with a man of my dreams.

As I type this, I realize that by the end of this month, I would have lived longer without P than with him as marrieds and that's just a crazy thought.  Yet as we watch home videos today, I think of what a major part he was and how I couldn't be who I am without him nor could I be raising the bestest daughter ever.

Navy Pier was a beginning to a wonderful chapter in my life.  I pray that some day soon the Lord will bring another significant place for me to start a new chapter at.  Until then, I continue to hope and trust in God's faithfulness.

God you are good and your faithfulness endures forever!!
