So this week I hurt my back. I have had back pains in the past but this is and was just to painful to do anything. It was so bad that Joel had to put on my boots for me because I couldn't do it myself.
This brought us to the point that Joel had to do the craft fair all by himself and he was more than willing. Telling me if he didn't love me he wouldn't do the craft fair at all especially by himself. And you know what is even more of a heart twister no one bought anything the first day. (As I write this Joel is by himself on the second day of the craft fair)
Then yesterday Joel brings home a dozen roses for me because he loves me and wants me to get well. What a man. I love that guy.
SO this blog is all about Joel and how great he is and how much I appreciate him. Thank You God for my man whom you have blessed me with.
There are tons of other things that Joel has done that are just awww moments but it would take to long and I am sure you would get bored. SO I will keep it short and sweet.
Thank you Joel for being a wonderful man and treating me like a Queen.
Loved by Jesus and Joel,
Dess

I love you Dessy! You seriously are a doll!
Dear Dess and Joel,
You guys are special and great. Good job. Nice photos!!! Lovely roses and who doesn't love the Smokey picture? I do.
Ha ha, you guys are totally at an opposite stage in your lives to Ben and I. Our blog could read exactly the opposite: The biggest problem is, since we have almost zero minutes together, we have completely forgotten how special the other person is, and furthermore, how to show them any appreciation...
I mean, ok, we have vague recollections, but really very little time together. Oh well. Seasons of life. A pretty good reason Marriage is for Life, so you know if you just keep putting in your time in the rough spots, the good times will come.
I must say however, that Ben bought me some super sweet red Poinsettas, and decorated our home with a Snowman Christmas Pillow and put up some indoor lights to make it Christmasy, all by himself, which was very special for me.
Ok, love you guys!
Poinsettas versus roses. That's the difference between a newly married (pre-5 year anniversary) and the old married man. Absolutely. Different stages of marriage/life. Each has its own best wine. In my experience, it is worth it to hold out for the latter years. The best ever! Miss you guys!
Wow Joel I've always known you had it in you!
We love and miss you both in Stockton. Keep in touch and stay encouraged.
God Bless
Shalom in Yah,
Toni
Good man Joel!
Dess - I still tell people, "I coached this girl, and her dad has given her mom a single rose every Friday for as long as they've been together!"
