Today we have been married 11 years. I read thru my post from last year on "The Story of Us", and there really isn't more I can add except to the list of things I love about Allen. I know I give him grieve but only because we he knows I'm just giving him a hard time. He has been my friend when I felt there were no others. He is the love of my life and I'm so thankful for the gift that the Lord gave me in him. And in him I find it all the more sweeter for all that I had to endure to find him.
-He really tries to get me anything I even mention I might like.
-He has way more patience with me than I deserve.
-He makes me feel safe. I know we could survive in the wilderness indefinitely.
-He touches my back gently almost every time he walks by me.
-He isn't afraid of wearing the pants and knows he is the leader.
-He has grown so much this past year thru many trials and came out shining brighter than before.
-He is a good man, good father and good husband when he didn't have a good example growing up.
-He loves being self-employed.
-He lays down his life and wants for the best of the family most of the time.-His skin is weathered from working out in the bitter cold and scorching heat year round.
-He takes the kids with him to work when he can.
-If he's late, I don't have to worry about where he is, just if he's ok.
-He loves it when I don't dress up or wear make-up but tells me how pretty I am when I do.
-He doesn't care if I've spent the day playing with the kids rather than picking up house.
-He won't allow there to be questions and doubts about us homeschooling. He is 100% in favor.
-He is a command man and knows what he wants.
-He is a stable man and doesn't make rash decisions or emotional ones.
-He wears Cowboy Cut Wranglers, long sleeve button up shirts and boots better than anyone.
-He loves to help others.
-When he gives without receiving a thank you, he lets it go.
-When he is wronged or hurt by others, he lets it go.
-He would gladly give his life for us and be proud to do so.
-He chooses to do the right thing.
I love you Allen. Thank you for loving me for all this time.
