My Favorite Gift

This man hates his photo taken so I had to sneak this one (he caught me though!) when we went to LHU last week.

Firstly, look at those lashes!!!

Secondly, next month, we will celebrate our dating anniversary marking thirty-one years as a couple. In May, we will celebrate being married for twenty-five of those years.

At one point in our marriage, it was almost over completely. After deep soul searching, we came to the realization that we, in fact, could not live without each other nor did we ever want to. We began rebuilding and devoting ourselves to each other once again. Our bond is unshakable now. We are far more in love with each other than ever before and I simply could not have survived if he wasn’t by my side. No, seriously. He has saved me many times.

I could probably sit for a few hours and tell you the many ways he is so special and beautiful and funny and sarcastic and kind and loving but it is my hope that you, too, have or will at some point get to experience his heart and understand, with unspoken words, just how lovely of a human being he is. I am, without fail, counting my blessings daily that he chose me and still chooses me and loves me fiercely as I do him. He is my favorite gift of all time. His arms, my favorite place to be. I am so thankful that he is my forever. I am my beloveds and he is mine. I love you, always. Brent.
