life is beautiful

last night i was sorting through some pictures and i ran across our engagement photos. the only word that came to mind was "unfolding." it's amazing how our lives continue to unfold and peel back layers to surprise us and show us that this is the way it was always meant to be. for example, the layer that followed these engagement photos was the most beautiful day of my life surrounded by friends and family at a secluded villa in mexico. the layer to follow that was a perfect little cottage that we get to call our very own and now the next layer to reveal itself is this sweet little fluttering creature that's growing nice and strong inside my belly.

it's funny how people normally refer to their lives as "building" but i refer to mine as "discovering."

i simply can not wait to see what our future layers reveal. life is so very beautiful.
