8 Years

I remember the first time I saw her. The room stopped. Well, the room kept going. I stopped. I've been told that my jaw literally dropped. And I knew that I needed to get to know this girl. She is an angel. Sweet. Innocent. Beautiful. Caring. Hard working. Driven. Smart. Everything I was looking for.

Yeah, like she's going to go out with a slob like me.
(If you knew me in High School, you know it's true).

We dated. For a long time. By long I mean 5 1/2 years. Yeah, long.

Then we got married. June 4, 1999. Eight years ago today.

I married up. Let there be no question.

But eight years later, we're still going strong.

God, thank you for giving me someone who actually gets me.
Thank you for giving me someone to share life's joys and sorrows with.
Thank you for giving me someone to be the strengths in my weaknesses.
Thank you for giving me someone that drives me to be closer to You.
Thank you for giving me the perfect person for me.

Amy, thank you for eight years (or thirteen years, seven months if you count dating... but who's counting.)

You are the reason I get up in the morning. You are the strength I need to keep going. When I look at you I see a glimmer of what God has in store for us. And it makes me smile.

Happy Anniversary Babygirl.
