This time last year was a pretty hectic time for our small family of two. Having recently moved back to Jacob's hometown, and the place we met, we were living in a small apartment that had to accommodate two adults, two home offices, one ornery dog and a seemingly never-ending parade of various employees. The weather was prohibitive to most activities outside the walls of our little place, so cabin fever (along with not-yet-unpacked fever, wish-we-were-moved-into-our-house fever, starting-small-businesses fever, tight-on-cash fever) dogged us.

This was not the first time we'd encountered those particular challenges of day-to-day life intimately shared with another human being - let's don't minimize it here, they are the challenges that make you want to scream and pound your head on a wall - but the impact of small gestures can so lighten the every day burdens and put those times into perspective.

I've become quite enamored of the small things - in their giving and receiving. They say the devil is in the details, but I think love is in the details - it's simply a matter of which details you choose.
