8 things...To my husband

8 things I love about my husband
(in honor of today, our 8th anniversary)

1. I love the way you accept me as I am (and have from the beginning,) not wanting me to be anyone else but me. I can truly be myself with you. This is a wonderful feeling.

2. I love the way you can comfort me by peeling away the layers (you've told me I'm like an onion!) of my sadness to figure out the real issues that are bothering me.

3. I love the way you interact with our son and give him a wonderful example to follow every day. He wants to be just like his Daddy and I'm so thankful he has you to follow.

4. I love the way you always support me in my goals and dreams. In our first years of marriage, you were encouraging me in fulfilling my dream of being a teacher. More recently you've supported me 100% in my dream to be a stay-at-home Mom. Thank you.

5. I love the way you make me laugh all the time about unexpected things. It is so fun to remember past funny times with you and laugh some more together.

6. I love the way you love the Lord. You don't know how much it encourages me to see you continuing to grow in Him and sharing with me what you're learning.

7. I love the way you teach me by your example...how you say I'm sorry, look for the positive, and work hard daily.

8. I love the way you treat me with respect and love. You make me feel cherished and I'm so grateful.

Happy Anniversary to my sweet husband! I have absolutely loved being married to you, my best friend, these past 8 years. I'm thankful that God gave you to me to walk alongside you as your wife as we journey through this life together. You are amazing!

Bethany,

I have missed your sweet posts and walking to the cross with you, my friend. Thank you for your kindness and sweet encouraging words through such a difficult time for me and my family losing another loved one.

You are a precious friend and I wanted to say thank you for being you. I'm glad to have had this time to visit with you this morning.

My Aunt remains in critical condition in ICU so I may still be sporadic in my posts but again...glad to have been here this morning! Blessings to you and your family, my sweet friend.
