What a Catch.....

June is the "month of Trey" at our house. We celebrate his birthday, Fathers' Day, and now our anniversary. Today we have been married 9 years. In that time we have had two children, birthed my 2 graduate degrees (like childbirth, these were exquistely painful, beautiful experiences, but they had no anesthesia option), bought 1 house, sold it, and bought another.

I just can't believe how the time has flown. In my working world, and even among friends, I am (I think anyway) considered to be a modern woman. I have fought hard to "sit at the big table", excel in my professional pursuits, and support my family. At home, though, I am a love-struck girl who gets weak-kneed in her husband's presence. What a catch he is. He assures me that regardless of my ambition to overachieve and prove my worth in a man's world, I can still be and feel like a woman who is madly in love with a man.

Blessing #57, June 23, 2010

I am thankful that my husband called me in March of 2000. It took guts-we hadn't seen each other in years. I am thankful that he wasn't afraid to tell me how he felt early on. I am blessed that he asked and so happy that I had the wisdom to say yes. He is the best decision I ever made.
