Giving my Husband some Props

A good friend of mine on facebook had this as her status today:

"What makes me a strong woman? The man standing beside me, standing steady, even during my weak moments."

I know for me, without a shadow of a doubt, this is a billion percent true!


I'd be lost without him.

I'd like to think he'd be lost without me too. "It takes two, baby...."

We're meant to be, yes it is true.

Christian has known this since age 6. It took me a while to catch on.

Praise God for guiding my heart. I think I always KNEW, but was so stubborn. I think I exhausted every possible excuse (and dated some....jerks....along the way) for not dating Christian.....

Christian.

He was ALWAYS there to catch me in every bad situation.

Hey, he's still there. Except now I have a slip of paper making it legal! ;-) haha!

I'm always the one melting down. He's the one who glues me back together, sweeps the floor, and even steam cleans it sometimes....

In a world where the divorce rate is climbing and many people seem so unhappy in their relationships...I'm thankful for my marriage. Every day, I feel a little sad when Christian leaves for work, and I'm (almost) always thrilled to see him when he gets home. After the kids are down plowing him down!

Someone recently mentioned that getting away without our kids would add some spice to our marriage. (This was unsolicited parenting advice from a nonparent when I mentioned that my kids have never had an overnight stay anywhere.) I'm happy to say...we're content. We're spicy enough hanging out in our sweats (well, usually jeans for Christian) and sharing a bowl of popcorn while playing a board game...which if he is smart, Christian lets me win!! (haha) Boring does not mean the same thing as BORED.

Oh...and being a good dad....sexier than any vacation, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm out of words. My heart explodes when I think about him. Nothing would make me prouder than my sons to grow up to be just like their dad, and for my little girls to marry men like Christian.

My cousin captured this "look" between us. I could have avoided the rest of this post just by posting:

Yep, we're in love.
