Elizabeth: He never ceases to amaze me...

He never ceases to amaze me...

My dear husband never ceases to amaze me. Last week I was rummaging through a closet, as I was doing a little reorganization (one of my favorite things!), and he spotted these pictures. He nearly jumped with excitement when he exclaimed, "We've got to hang these up!" I faught him tooth and nail because they are just some silly pictures I painted/sketched in high school and college. I never intended to erect the "Wall-O-Elizabeth." Anyway, I had to share his sweet act of kindness. I guess love IS blind!

Wow! I agree with Nathan. Those pieces are definitely wall worthy. Your children will treasure them some day and I hope you have enough children so that each child can have one art piece. :-) I do believe that you should carve out some time to pursue your art again. Hope to see y'all soon. Love, Aunt Lou; January 31, 2008 at 9:22 PM

Anonymous said...: Hi, I loved the paintings and sketches made by you but I loved the gesture of your husband more than your sketches. He is so caring and so loving. I wish I could have a husband like this; November 23, 2008 at 12:02 PM

Who am I?

Family:

My husband Nathan and I have been married for 7 years. We are praising God for blessing us with our first baby due March 5, 2012! The Lord is allowing us to witness one of His greatest miracles and we are so thankful.

Faith:

We are blessed to be members of a wonderful church and Sunday school class both of which are faithful to God's Word. First Baptist Church of Bentonville is where I accepted Christ and is where we gladly call our church home.

Function:

I am an elementary English as a Second Language teacher. I teach children in Kindergarten through fourth grade. It's a dream job! Who wouldn't enjoy loving on and playing with little ones all day? I have the good fortune to live and work in the town where I grew up. It is truly a blessing to be called to the teaching profession.

Fun Fact:

I am a fraternal twin! Being a twin is so much fun, but I honestly don't know what life as a non-multiple would be like. Jennifer and I are different in nearly every physical way, but we are told that our voices and smiles are the same. God is so creative! She is extraordinarlily talented in so many ways. Her gifts are truly amazing! Although we are fraternal, she is my thought-completing, sentence-finishing twin sister who can always make me laugh.
