Get plenty of protein! You are surely doing a podvig by bearing the suffering of your illness with patience.

And his fish dinner looks great, with pears on top? What did YOU have?<br />Rob and I have been married for 13 years this year! ♥ I think each year, there are more struggles, but we compromise and work together and in the end grow to love each other more!!!

We moved over 1500 miles away from home. We dove in head-first and it was hard. But I would not change one thing. We were forced to cling to each other and get through it together. No matter the trials we face, or the fights we have, we are entirely inseparable. <br /><br />Your friend was so right in saying that marriage is harder and better than you can ever imagine. You cannot ever be wholly prepared for it. This reminds me of a song I hear now and again on Christian radio that I absolutely love called "Dancing in the Minefields". The chorus goes as follows: <br /><br />We went dancing in the minefields<br />We went sailing in the storm<br />And it was harder than we dreamed<br />But I believe that's what the promise is for"Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913211096553716061noreply@blogger.com
