Month of Thankfulness: Day 2

Today I am thankful for my amazing husband! I can look around and easily see many divorces or relationships that are struggling, but then I look at our marriage and I KNOW that I am blessed! Over 13 years ago I met this boy when we were still young, silly teenagers. Only God could have ordained something so beautiful to begin when we were so young and to carry us to where we are now. 

I look at how much we have both grown up and changed over these last 13 years - and sometimes I laugh to think he stuck with me when I was so immature. But boy am I glad he did. 

I love that we have a relationship that is securely founded on God, and that thru Him we have been able to learn the lessons we need to continue growing together. 

Over the last 13 years we have learned how to communicate (not just talk to or at each other). We have learned a lot about the balance it takes to run a household and raise children. We have helped each other grow as individuals, as a couple, and as parents. We have encouraged each other to be the best we can be, and supported one another's goals and desires. We have walked ups and downs together ... not just the easy times. And all these lessons and more we are committed to continuous learning as we fulfill our vows to one another.

I thank God for this man! I simply cannot imagine my life without him in it, and I wouldn't want to.

I am very thankful for these last 13 years and I am ever so thankful for the years to come as we spend the rest of our lives together! 

I love you, David!
