It seems like every distraction imaginable is begging for your time and attention. Although a lot of these distractions are good (family, friends, jobs), we can’t let anything take priority over the intentionality in our marriage.

Ahhh! Seriously, that is how I feel! We have worked so dang hard on this project and it feels so good to finally share it. First of all, we realized dreams are expensive.
