It Did



I love this song because it reminds me of how I felt when Oby and I were dating. I almost instantly knew that he was 'the one,' even though until I met him I hadn't believed in that!

he was just my match.

I wanted to be with him always. forever....
and knew I would be.

Finally finding my hunk of a man, laughing, dating, staying up late talking about the future.... I always thought, 'It just doesn't get better than this!'

But it did.

It's not as glamorous and pretty. It's not perfect like I thought it would be, but we make it through the imperfections and come out the other end on each other's side, holding hands, and smiling. It's real and tender and forgiving and trusting. We still laugh (all the time), go on an occassional date, and often stay up talking about the future. He's an amazing father, a dedicated husband, an excellent provider, and I could never ask for a better friend and companion to go through life with.

Happy Valentine's Day Obs. I love you.

Y'all make such a beautiful couple! You are blessed to have found such a great guy and then to have such a precious daughter to top it all off.
They're also very blessed to have you. You're an awsome lady, with such a giving spirit! You have the gift of brightening the days of those around you. I never leave your blogs without a smile on my face and feeling a little more able to tackle my day.

Happy V-Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I feel the same one about my hubby - he is just THE ONE (as lame as it sounds).

Also - My post today is all about Kidz. I hope it helps spread the word.

i love this post. It is so beautiful and inspiring. At times, I find myself pouring into my daughter so much that I forget to appreciate Isaac the way I used to. Thanks for the reminder.

That is just so sweet. I like how you say "It's not perfect like I thought it would be" because that is so true. But, like you and your Obs, we have held each other's hands through the most gut-wrenching, heartbreaking times of both our lives, and we are still smiling—and in awe of our little miracle, Max.
