We just bought our second home, which I&#8217;m having a blast decorating. Well I&#8217;m planning the decorating. I haven&#8217;t done much just yet. I am planning an initial wall in our kitchen and this is my first piece from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.personalcreations.com\/\"rel=\"nofollow\">Personal Creations<\/a>. I love how it starts with our wedding date! We truly became one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4466.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelchairmommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4466.jpg\" alt=\"(null)\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also been homeschooling our 3 children now for just over three years. That&#8217;s always amazing but we wonder if it&#8217;s the right choice. If we do ever go back, I wouldn&#8217;t trade the time we&#8217;ve had for anything in the world. <\/p>\n<p>I am beyond blessed that my prince charming can provide well enough for us that I can stay home with our children. There have been times when he&#8217;s forgotten flowers or cards but the gift of being home? That makes up for it.<\/p>\n<p>My prince charming and I will be celebrating our13th Valentine&#8217;s Day together this year and it is a far cry our first. I still remember what he bought me. Pearls. They were rather lovely, I still wear them. They might be one of my favorite gifts for him. <\/p>\n<p>The part you weren&#8217;t expecting? I was in the hospital on this weird air bad that blew sand at me to help with circulation because I couldn&#8217;t get up. I was recovering from a surgery to remove a horribly infected pressure sore. We have been engaged five months at this point. <\/p>\n<p>He was with me for better or for worse even before we said I do.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first year in quite a while we will have a sitter for the boys. I will update with a future post on how lovely our date was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was paralyzed just a little over 15 years ago I knew I still wanted to find love, settle down, get married and make beautiful babies.
