14
Yesterday, Eddie and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. 14 years!!!!! It has gone by so fast. Some days it seems like only yesterday that I saw him in the church fellowship hall wearing a blue New York mission trip shirt playing Chubby Bunny thinking that man, he was cute. And wasn’t it only yesterday that I saw him across the cafeteria and gave him thumbs up for the full beard he had grown over break? Wasn’t it just last week that I forced myself to eat Mongolian BBQ because I really, really, really liked this guy?
The guy who, after seeing me trying not to gag on the Mongolian BBQ , took me McDonald’s for a burger and grabbed himself a hot fudge sundae? Do you know after 14 years of marriage he still grabs me a burger from McDonald’s? (And still loves a good hot fudge sundae)
The guy who holds sleeping babies on his chest…
The guy who loves the Lord with all his heart…
The guy who holds me every night as I fall asleep…
The guy who makes me laugh every day…
The guy who gets teary eyed at the thought of walking 5 precious daughters down the aisle..
The guy who is working hard to create a business to pass down to his son…
The guy who I love to hear preach the Word…
The guy who keeps me stocked in chocolate…
The guy who sings silly songs…
The guy who leads us in family worship…
The guy who still catches my eye…
The guy who loves my cooking…
The guy who is so willing to help others…
The guy who calls me Sweetie…
The guy who isn’t afraid to say he was wrong (not that he is ever wrong, snort)
Thank you, Lord for blessing me with 14 years as Eddie’s wife. I know without a doubt that I am completely cherished by him. I never doubt his love and care for me. I don’t take that for granted. I am beyond blessed to be called Eddie’s wife; his Sweetie.
I love you, Eddie. I can’t wait to see what the next 14 years hold for us. There is nowhere else I want to be!
(I’m done being mushy. Carry on.)
*Note: I would love to include a picture but I’m not on my computer and our wedding was pre-digital, lol. So wedding photos are in storage. Just imagine us with no gray hair and a little bit smaller and there ya go.
I’d like to meet Eddie…you should bring him with you sometime.
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!
