Let Me Tell You About My Man...

Yesterday was our 13th anniversary!! I'm always so excited to celebrate another year of being married to my best friend. I am so blessed to be married to a man who knows how to love unconditionally. I can tell you I am not the easiest person to be married to!!

Marriage is not for the weak at heart. It's not for the non-committal. It's hard. It's painful at times, but I wouldn't change any of it. It seems the trials of life and marriage are what makes us stronger. I know that sounds cliche, but it's the truth. The worst of our marriage is what has made the best of it. Does that make sense? Or maybe John and I only learn the hard way??

I'm thankful to be married to a man who loves the Lord, who loves his wife and children and would die for us without thought. He works so hard to provide a beautiful home for us in a safe neighborhood and all the other things necessary to make life work. He works hard so I can stay home and homeschool our younger babes. That is not something I take for granted. I try to make sure the children know how hard their daddy works to make us happy.

He is extremely supportive of me, and respectful. He likes to surprise me. He loves to get me things he knows I would never spend the money on myself. Like one year when he surprised me with a delivery at the door... of a piano!! Who does that?

This year he came home with a new perfume I wanted, and new jewelry for me. I love him. I am so thankful he's my husband. I love our life together. Even the hard times. Thank you Jesus for my husband, my lover, my best friend.

Happy anniversary honey! Together forever!!!
