Nine Years Ago Today

Nine years ago today, our friends and family joined together in my grandparent’s backyard in central Texas…

Nine years ago today, I walked down the aisle with my grandad, brother and dad on my arm…

Nine years ago today, I joined my hubby under an old pecan tree…

Nine years ago today, he never took his eyes off of me the whole ceremony…

Nine years ago today, I lived out a girlhood dream and married my prince charming…I did good!

I was thinking last night about how well he honors me, and the Lord laid a thought in my heart that I can only attempt to aspire to…………I want to be the woman he treats me like I am. 

According to Wrex…through his words, his actions, his prayers…I’m the most beautiful woman on the planet.  I have nothing to hide, nothing to be ashamed of, just lots to flaunt.  I have no reason to be insecure and every reason to be confident and outgoing.  I’m the best cook in the history of the world and few can give me a run for my money.  I’m the mom of the year!  The way he brags on me to the children and reminds them of how blessed they are to have me bolsters my resolve.  I’m intelligent and well-spoken…my words mean something and are worthy of listening ears.  I’m his favorite person to hang out with, his favorite hobby, his favorite helper, his favorite.

If I acted and spoke and lived how he treats me…how the Lord sees me…instead of getting tangled in the web of lies in my head, oh man……

I am so in love with you, Wrexy.  After choosing Christ to rule my life, marrying you was the best decision I ever made.  Being in covenant with you has been an honor and a joy more days than it has been anything else.  You are a dream come true…a husband that is better than I ever knew existed or that I thought I would have.  I love you more today than I did nine years ago – and that’s saying a lot! 

Thank you for choosing me then and now. 

One of the doves we released - one of W's favorite parts of our wedding!
