When I think of my husband, I think of...
The way he held me up when I was in labor - His strong arms and encouraging words.
His color-shifting eyes: first deep brown, then warm burnt orange, then a hint of mossy green.
The look of adoration on his face when he sees his daughters.
The hundreds of times he's rushed to my immediate aid when a terrifying bug was about to attack.
His tummy-fluttering, heart-stopping, skin-shivering handsomeness.
His faithful, soul-searching journey to find God.
That spot on his neck - right where his shoulder begins - that smells of warmth and soap and whatever it is that makes him him.
The rich timbre of his voice when he's sharing his heart or his day - and how comforting that sound is no matter what the discussion is about.
His lips. Oh, his lips.
How secure I am in the knowledge that he loves me and truly enjoys being with me.
The way he makes me feel like I am the most desirable person in any room.
How proud I am of his strength and devotion to God and family.
The way I fit perfectly under his chin when he pulls me into one of the best hugs this world has ever seen.
How much more I love him now than I did in the beginning - back when I thought the universe couldn't contain the emotions my little heart held. But somehow, the universe just keeps expanding.
How lucky I am to have this man as my husband, and how much I wish for him to have all the best things in life.
Happy Birthday Justin!
I love you. (I married'ja, didn't I?)
The two most important things:

ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got yourself a keeper. There's nothing better than a husband who adores his wife and kids. I'm lucky to have one, too.
It always makes me smile to think how giddy you are about your husband. You're such a sweet couple.
