When I Think Of My Husband




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?)

    "His tummy-fluttering, heart-stopping, skin-shivering handsomeness.

    His faithful, soul-searching journey to find God."

    Sounds like a winner to me! :) Happy birthday Justin!

  4. Great picture of you two.

    Sounds 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.
