My Love

This past weekend was rough. After almost 2 yrs in our home, we found out that we have to move in 4 months. This saddens me. We love our home and the life we've created for our children here. I was heartbroken. On top of this, we were getting ready to send Matt off for another week(to my delight, he came home early!). My emotions were in another world and I was just in a plain funk.

In the midst of my pouting and sulking, I was reminded of how much I love my husband. He's my rock, my strength, my heart and soul. He's my best friend.

The way he lives his life and treats those around him inspires me.

The way he plays with the kids endlessly. Baseball. Kickball. Basketball. Hide -N- Seek.

The way our daughters eyes light up when he walks into view or becomes within ear shot.

The way our sons would rather(most of the time) play with him than their friends.

The way he, after 13 yrs of me pleading, has started making the bed everyday.

The way he rubs my feet and back anytime I ask, even though he would rather be rubbed himself.

The way he can make me weak in the knees with just a simple kiss on the cheek.

The way just hearing his voice on the other end of the line makes my heart melt.

The way he loves me so unconditionally. So completely.

The excitement I get when I know he's coming home after only being gone for a few days still surprises me.

As I was driving home the other day, it occurred to me that even after 12 rough, tough, fun, happy, fulfilling yrs of marriage, I'm STILL so IN LOVE with my husband. And THAT alone puts a smile in my heart :-)
