God's Plan

Six years ago today, I had planned to be on a plane heading to Honduras for my second mission trip to Tegucigalpa.  However back in the spring, I found out I was going to have to cancel my trip and have my third knee surgery on that exact day.  I was disappointed, frustrated, and discouraged.  I had just finished my first year teaching, completed the remodeling of my first home, and was looking forward to my first summer off as a teacher.  The trip was going to be the highlight of my summer, but God had a different plan.

That day I went in and had the surgery.  It was outpatient, and I came home that afternoon hardly able to do anything on my own.  My parents and friends helped out tremendously.  They would bring me things, take me places, and keep me company.  Although, one visitor surprised me the most. 

My exboyfriend (Kevin) showed up on the day immediately following the surgery.  He came delivering a card. (Notice: We had went years without talking to one another and had just reconnected.  I don’t think I had even told my parents.) He handed the card off and left.  Little did I know that the “Get Well” card would be just a start to something great!

My first outing after the surgery

Five years ago today, we were married! That year went by so fast, and was full of so many memorable moments.  God’s plan ended up being the best thing ever for me.  In lack of being able to see it at the time, He knew just what I needed. 

The Proposal

Happy 5^th Wedding Anniversary, Kevin!  

I look forward to seeing what God has in store for our next 5 years and years after that.

God truly blessed the broken road to lead us back to one another.

4th Anniversary

Yesterday marked our 4th Anniversary as Mr. and Mrs. Lovelace.  

We have been so blessed over the past four years, 

and I can't wait to see what our future holds in the years to come.

I wish I could say we had an amazing day together, 

but we were living the married life of supplying for the family and helping others.

Kevin spent the day farming.  I am sure most of his day was looking like this.

After dropping Adelaide off at MDS for the day, I went to Fast Pace to get an X-Ray done on my foot.  (I fell the day before and woke up with a huge knot on my swollen foot.)  

I was glad to hear no broken bones, but then I got a phone call that Kevin's grandfather had fallen.  Being the only family member available, I followed the ambulance to Jackson so that he would have someone with him in the ER.  This is what the majority of my day looked like.

We were so glad to hear that he had not broken any bones either. 

 I was able to bring him home that afternoon.

That was the extent to my day (plus dinner with some friends).
Although we did not get to go out or anything, I am glad that Kevin is almost done harvesting the wheat.  I am also glad that I was able to be there for his grandfather when needed.
We are just living the married life now. :)

Here is a slideshow that was shown during our wedding:

I like to watch it every year to remind me how God truly did
"bless the broken road" to lead us back to one another.
