20 years






Who knew time would fly so quickly in our lives. July 29, 1989 was a GRAND day for me (and hopefully Shane). :) I married a man who has proven to be someone beyond my wildest dreams. Well, since I don't "dream" much, I suppose he has just proven to be an awesome Christian, husband and father. I loved him dearly the day we married, but that love has grown and grown.


There are so many wonderful attributes he has, but one that is so amazing to me is his willingness to stick with something...or someone. :) Hee hee! :) I have always felt loved beyond measure with him. I used to wonder just how he could love me like he does, but I have come to learn something over the past 1 1/2 years. That boy has an ability to stick with a project like no one I have ever seen! He has worked on a few friends' cars along with our's and the times I would have thrown in the towel, he works til he gets it right. Maybe that is nothing to some, but for me it has been huge. Not sure why, except that maybe it is something I desire more of, but he has amazed me!


He is soooo strong! :) I LOVE that he can move furniture alone that would take three of some men.


The one attribute that should have been listed as number one, is his love for the Lord. I am SO VERY blessed to have a husband who was in love with the Lord 20 years ago, and today is more so. He is a wonderful husband and keeps me in line, and wants to do what is right for our children in line with what God has in mind. I am SO grateful!!


He is so in love with his babies. When he comes home from work, our children run to meet him as if he has been gone for weeks. It warms my heart every time!! He is a protector of the baby I am carrying. I can't say I have ever seen him so protective, but well, yesterday I was helping Sam mow the yard, and Shane was not so happy. We sorta weren't nice to each other about it...or I wasn't, but it wasn't until this morning that I realized what he was thinking. He was quite upset that I would worked too hard and put the baby at risk. It made me SO sad that I hurt him like that. I love him for caring!!


This 20 years has gone by so quickly. Three babies later, and another on the way, I am blessed beyond measure! God has been so GOOD and SOOO merciful to us. I am so far from perfect and not sure how I deserve such a man, but I thank the Lord for him everyday!!
