I guess I’m a lot of things: a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a crafter, a cook, a reader, a writer, a homemaker, a pianist, and probably a lot more too. But at the end of the day, I’m just a Christian trying to find and obey God’s will.
Tonight we were out to eat, just Ry, William, and me. In the middle of a busy, colorful new restaurant, William sat on Ryan’s lap and just stared at me as I ate. With the hint of a smile on his lips. And absolute love in his eyes.
My little baby loves me.
The other best part of the night?
When Ryan said, on our way home, “You’re my best friend.”
I’m so blessed. Thanks, God.
Yup, my name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley. Read more »My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.
Danica, This is so sweet! And, such a wonderful example of how a “Godly” marriage is suppose to be. You are truly blessed and the Lord is smiling on you and Ryan, I’m sure. What a gift from the Lord to have a loving and dedicated husband (and father). Keep posting because it is such a witness and testimony to how the Lord wants us to be in our marriages. You probably don’t realize how many people you “speak” to through your posts. There are so many marriages that are crumbling and falling apart and you are such an encourager (and example) in this world we live in. Your commitment to each other and your desire to serve the Lord in all you do is a beautiful example of the Lord in your lives. God bless you both and those sweet little boys!
