cake & dt dew for breakfast

ok, so I am going to try to start to post a daily picture of Joe & I, telling a little story about it - because every picture has a story :-) and I will also share a daily scripture verse from my morning prayer time.... and so you know, all of my scripture, unless I tell you otherwise, will be from the New Living Translation - it is my favorite.

Today's verses are from 1 Peter, chapter 1 verses 5-7 & 13, and chapter 5 verse 10:
"And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.  So be truly glad.  There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while.  These trials will show that your faith is genuine.  It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold - though your faith is far more precious than mere gold.  So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world" ... "So think clearly and exercise self-control.  Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world." ... "In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus.  So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation."

Today's picture is from November 2008 - this is how we spent most of our time together, why my heart is completely broken - because we worked different shifts, we only had a couple hours each day that we were awake together - this is what we did - snuggled on the couch.  Now for the funny part - there is a string of about 4 photos from this "shoot" we needed perfection, and this one was as close as we could get - see how our chins are raised? the one before this, we both had 3-4 chins... haha, very fun times.
