My Man...

Tonight, I am looking forward to riding in the car, ALONE with my dear husband.
We are going on a date, to the movies with some awesome friends! I can't wait.
It's not often, hardly ever, that JC and I get to be alone, other than when we're in our beds sleeping. ha! I am thankful for this blessed time that God allowed for us to be just be together....ALONE! I emphasize the word "ALONE", as most parents can totally relate to that word: they either A. alone w/ their kids or B. alone with NO KIDS! That will be us this evening! ahhhh! NOT that I don't adore & treasure my kids....I do think for any parent w/ kids, being alone with your best friend can really be amazing. Even if it's just riding in the car, talking or not talking.

JC is my best friend. He is someone I know I can trust, cry with, be utterly transparent with & know, that no matter what the day looks like, he's ALWAYS there.

I am so thankful to God for bringing me such an amazing man in my life. A man who God can trust. A man who loves Jesus more than life itself. Even me! :-) I'd prefer that. A man who works hard, puts his family first & comes home with a smile on his face, despite what the bank acct. says, or how many piles of mulch he plowed in 100 degree weather that day. I love his warm heart, tender smile & the love that he always blesses me with.

Next week will be our 5 year wedding anniversary & what an amazing 5 years it's been. It's been hard work, trials, babies, crying, financial strains, love, love & more love & pressing through all the muck & mire & we're still going strong. Love & marriage is more than just a commitment we made in front of dear friends & family & God. It's a covenant of become one flesh. Of honoring one another, cherishing eachother, being there through the "storms" & the "sunny" days!

I love my life with my man! He makes my tummy funny just looking at his blue eyes! I know, cheesy, but its that kind of stuff that makes it sooooooooooooooooo good.

Thank you Father for blessing me with JC!

More to come next week as we celebrate 5 beautiful years!!!!
