The Frenches: 3rd Year Anniversary

This past Wednesday, May 6th was our 3rd year anniversary! Three years... it's so amazing how time flies by! In our 6 1/2 years together, we have been blessed with so much. It seems like just yesterday we meet at Hurricane Harry's; Jason a studly lacrosse player and my name 'Jenna'! (Let us know if you want to hear the whole storey, but a short version is I gave him my phone number on my birthday in December and he was going to call me when we got back from Christmas vacation. He thought my name was Jenna, so when January rolled around, he called and asked for Jenna, not me. We hung up and saw each other the next week, realized what happened, laughed and planned our first date. The rest is history!) We love to reminisce about our years in College Station and how much fun we had.

We are so blessed with wonderful families and friends, great jobs, a beautiful home, each other and so much more. I am so thankful for God in our lives and I pray that He continues to be the center of our marriage and lives; that our relationship with Him continues to grow stronger every day!

Just Being...

The other day I was sitting on our front patio enjoying a quiet moment when I started thinking about my relationship with my husband and my God. I realized that one thing I thoroughly enjoy about marriage and find complete joy and freedom in, is the fact that Jason and I enjoy 'just being' with each other. Not just being around each other; but Just Being... period! We have great fun together; we talk and laugh together, we have serious and fun conversations, we reminisce and think about the future, we love so many different hobbies, etc. But one thing that makes me feel closest to Jason are our times we Just Are. Times when no words have to be spoken, nothing has to get done, we don't have to do be doing anything. These precious times are between me and my husband; I can't have times like this with anyone else here on earth. These 'Just Being' times are also my favorite times with God. I love to just sit and Be with God. No talking, no doing, no thinking; just alone and quiet time with God. I love to imagine myself where ever I am, but also knowing I am also sitting at His feet, leaning against Him; just enjoying Him and His creation all around. These times of Just Being are some of my most favorite times; my most cherished blessings!
