Once in awhile you encounter someone who truly complements you. I don't like the word complete, because I learned a long time ago that only Jesus could fully complete me. But to have someone who complements you in every way, who is strong where you are weak, and who encourages you like no other, is once in a lifetime.
9 years of stress! Every single year has held some type of trial or struggle, yet everyone of them has the turned into something beautiful. So many situations that were sent our way that could have broke us and brought harm, God safely delivered us from each and every one and showed us His grace and His love.
9 years of growth! Our family has grown, our hearts have grown, but more importantly our faith has grown. Some of the situations we have faced brought temporary feelings of doubt, yet God was merciful and brought a deeper faith through it all. We have faced a lot of fire, but we have found His grace every time!
9 years of laughter! If you know my sweet husband, you will know he doesn't take himself too seriously. (One of his most attractive qualities). He is a prankster and is constantly picking on me and the kids. He seriously makes us laugh EVERYDAY!
9 years of comfort! No one has ever been able to comfort me, to wipe my tears, to hug me when it gets hard, or just to be my safe place, just like he does! His smile and hugs still make me melt and give me a beautiful peace! And he tells me I'm most beautiful in a t-shirt and no makeup, with crazy hair...
9 years of love! It's in the simple everyday gestures that never go unnoticed. Bringing me coffee(now a monster),cooking dinner almost nightly while I'm finishing school, washing the clothes, cleaning the house, buying me chocolate when I'm stressed.. It's truly a beautiful thing to feel loved in the everyday moments!
9 years of memories! We have 3 beautiful children, have made and enjoyed time with lots of new friends, have enjoyed all the simple moments with our family! We have moved to a beautiful place and love every minute. We are so blessed!
Love you forever....
