humbled by love- one year and counting

Today marks one year. One year since I made promises to the man that I will love for the rest of my life. One year since I committed to be faithful, to always greet him with a kiss and to make our home a warm place that he wants to be. I could list all of the self-written vows that I made, but that isn't really what I remember as I look back over the past year. As I sit here right now, all that I can think about is how very well loved I have felt. For a whole year I have been taken care of, looked after, cherished and treated like his most prized treasure. For a whole year I have been reassured of every doubt and insecurity I have had. For a year I have been snuggled to my little hearts content, pursued day after day in the little things and the big, and made the number one priority in this man's life. I cannot wrap my little brain around it or begin to understand how a man so sweet and caring could love me so very much. Over the past year I have come to understand an amazing thing. To be loved, to be so truly, selflessly loved in spite of all of the messiness that makes up who I am... is the most humbling, wonderful, breathtaking thing that I have ever experienced in my life. Thank you Joey Weathersbee for loving so selflessly, giving of yourself so freely, and taking on every single one of my burdens as your own. You are an amazing example of Christ to me. You love me as Christ loved the church, you are an amazing example for our children and there isn't a thing in the world that I wouldn't do for you. Because of your love for me, I adore you more than you will ever know. xoxo
