I can't believe that it has been eight years since I married the man of my dreams! Time has flown, but in such an amazing way! I knew after a year of dating that he was going to be my partner for life, it just took him a little longer to 'pop' the question, but it was worth the wait! ;o)
We are celebrating apart tonight (again)! However, it is for good reasons as he ministers to the Youth Group tonight. I love that he is so dedicated to serving God and is doing what God has called him to do. God has gifted him in so many ways and this is just one of them. We did however celebrate last night with some amazing Mexican Food. If you ever get a chance to try Costa Vida, it is awesome! Yes the first Costa Vida in Canada is right here in Airdrie. Everything is homemade, the salsa, tortillas, guacamole! Delish!
There are so many things I can share about this wonderful man I am married to, but as I was out and about with the kids today I found this card that was perfect. I hate buying cards, as $6 seems ridiculous to spend, but I had to get this one (and no it wasn't the $6 card, but still darn close). I think it sums up perfectly what I think and feel about my amazing husband. I thank God for him EVERY- SINGLE- DAY! I thank God that he is so dedicated and committed to serving Him, taking care of his wife and family and always, always putting us before his own needs. Some days the love I feel for him brings tears to my eyes, I am just so incredibly blessed! Ok, now for the card........
My Husband
is a man of character
who understands commitment
and does more than his share
to make his family comfortable,
safe, and secure.
I adore him.
My partner
is a man who is patient,
optimistic (in a realistic way--hee), caring, and wise.
His sense of humour and support
hold me up when I can't
do it myself.
I'm grateful for him.
My friend
is the only man
with whom I can share
my deepest secrets
and know they'll be safe.
Time with him is always good.
I cherish him.
You (John) are all of those things
and more to me.
I'm so thankful you came into my world,
for if you hadn't, I'm sure
I never would have known the kind of happiness
you've brought into my life.
I love you.
Happy Anniversary!
Thanks for being such an amazing husband John!! Can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the many years that lie ahead!
