most girls grow up with this picture in their mind
"this -- this will be what he is like"
perhaps they want him tall
or short
serious
or funny
loud
or quiet
hairy
or clean-shaven
whoever it is they dream up
it typically isn't exactly the same
as who God gives them
mine
well --
he is far better than my dream ever was
he is slow to anger
so slow it makes me wonder if he'll get angry at all
he is patient
so patient i find myself rambling, uninterrupted about the details of my day for far too long
he is loving
so loving i can't remember an hour that went by without a sweet kiss to say "i love you and see you"
he is kind
so kind he let's me take not one, not two, easily three sips (or the whole can) of his sparkling water
he is goofy
so goofy that i can laugh or dance or chase him around our apartment without fear of judgment
he is calm
so calm i wonder if he's capable of worry or stress (don't worry he is...he's just great at not getting overwhelmed like i do ;)
and last
but certainly not the end of my list
he is 27 (today!!)
so old i'm not sure his joints can hold up much longer
but in all seriousness
God has taught me so much about love
about contentment
about commitment
and about fun
through my wonderful husband
and i'm thankful
that javi is all God has made him to be
and not simply a guy i dreamed up
(love you, baby. happy birthday!)
