I love her honesty and realness. She talks about the Gospel but doesn't pretend things are always perfect. Molly has been a real blessing to me and so many of my friends in her writing about motherhood, wife hood, loss, and loving her family and God.
Eric Carle's A Love Story and a Love Song
Chances are you live under a rock if you haven't heard of this guy and his amazing books, yet his blog is so simple and sweet and he reminds me of one my favorite professors from college.
Emily Henderson's Happy Valentine's Day
I like this gal. She has a blog and a TV show. She is funny and real (I like real. OK?). I think she is single handily saving HGTV for us 20-30 somethings (that don't want to be labeled 20-30 somethings). And I love that she takes her marriage seriously. And because I am a pastor's wife and have very mixed bag of readers I will tell she says a word or two that might offend you. BUT most of all. I love her description of when they met and "knew" and were like, uh this wasn't supposed to happen so quick but I am pretty sure you are the one. (I know a couple with names that rhyme with Sike and Marah Sosper that were they same.exact.way) She says " Lets face it, there are a lot of drawbacks of finding your 'person' so young...(BUT) You watch them become different, but the same. Older but the same. And better, but the same."
Well Mike Cosper. The drawbacks of eating Aldi's mac and cheese and Kielbasa and Jiffy muffins for 5 years 4 times a week and being broke and all kinds of sick throughout our 20s and early 30s far under weigh the beauty of you pointing me to laughter, joy and Jesus for the last 12+ years. You are a great man, friend, husband, pastor, guitar player, and dad. I love you.
* Edit. Tera asked how many days we have been married...If my math is correct (and it may not be, I retook algebra...) We have been married 4, 425 days. Yahoo!

I read that Molly Piper post earlier and couldn't resist figuring out how many days I had been married. So, I don't have the brain power to do the math myself so I googled it and found a calculator that did it for me. I have been married 2,145 days! how about you?
Also, I didn't realize that EC had a blog. Totally going to check it out. thanks
