"Thank you, God, for giving me such a beautiful wife!"
"Natalie, these girls are my life!"
You have said 2 of the sweetest things I have ever heard in my life to me over the past few weeks- so romantic and special to me that I never want to forget them! I am treasuring them in my heart, but I wanted to write them down here as well so that when I am old and have no memory, I can reflect on how beautifully you loved me. How well you knew me- knew just what to say to make me melt. The way that you loved our children. The way that you listened to what I had to say. I am currently working with Johanna on praying to God just throughout the day- lately, we have been saying, "Thank you, God, for the beautiful colors of Fall" every time that we see a tree with lots of reds, oranges, and yellow. And I had spoken to you about the importance of us praying out loud throughout the day to demonstrate our faith and active relationship with God to her. So, then for you to thank God for my beauty was so meaningful. We had just had a big fight the night before and were over it, but I think both still feeling a little wounded and you got off work early and came home right when both girls went down for a nap. and then you made love to me and romanced me with those beautiful words... you are so romantic! and you bought me flowers a few days ago- just because I had been sick and had a hard week. And today, I watched you play with Johanna for a long time- you were cracking her up. You really do see her as your best friend and you delight in her, which is exactly what she needs! You are such an incredible father. You do such a wonderful job providing for your girls- your emotionally needy girls. You pour into us- listening, talking, playing, delighting in, and you never complain. I cannot express my gratitude for you in words- I hope and pray that you feel it in my kisses, my touches, my hugs, my love. I love doing life together with you! And I cannot imagine how you can get any better than this, but I know that like wine you will get better with age and experience and I am so excited to continue to be romanced by you for the rest of my life! And I pray I can return the favor and make you so happy you might burst! xoxoxoxo
