Valentines Day was so long ago!!!!

I love the new templates that I found courtesy of a friend's blog that have made my blog look so cute and easy to change. I thought I would be all lovey-dovey for Valentines Day and haven't written a thing since. HA!!!It's been quite the week and a bit.
Bryce and I had a fun Valentines Day and enjoyed hanging out with our kids despite having an emotionally challenging day at work for both of us. The yummy steak dinner seemed to fill in some of those empty spaces. We really enjoy Valentine's Day because it is a great day to just be reminded of what is important in life. For us we also love Valentine's Day because it is the beginning of our love story and life together.
26 years ago on February 16th, Bryce gave me a Valentine's Day card and asked me to be his girlfriend....the rest is history. We never broke up and have been together since that day. Pretty awesome if you ask me!!! :) We've certainly had some dark days in there, but have learned so much about perseverance, patience and cooperation as we've allowed the other person to grow up (in my case), mature (in both our cases) and accept each other's personalities flaws and all. Exciting!!
Well, the week continued and wasn't a great one with some stuff to sort out at work, but we did it and it has been fine. We had a great weekend and were looking forward to this week...then yesterday happened.

| This is the historic Christchurch Cathedral - I cried when I saw this. Unfortunately there were people inside who died. |
 |
| An office building that had 200 people in it. It is unbelievable the destruction that has happened and the loss of life in just this one building. |
We are far away from Christchurch, but because NZ is a small nation, we're all grieving together and glued to our TVs as we see the latest pictures of destruction, of death and most wonderful, rescues!!! Please pray for this city, but pray that this tragedy is used to reach a nation of people who have kind of forgotten about God!
Like I said....Valentines was so long ago it seems as so much has happened in between.
