Count your blessings week




A dear friend of mine wrote in a recent post about counting your blessings, well my blessings.

I'm truly a blessed man and I find this a marvelous way for me to express some of the ways I am.

In one week I'm going celebrate my 10 year anniversary with my wonderful wife. That's the first blessing I want to share.

I always joke that I knew by the second date that I wanted to be with her forever. She didn't know until the second year. She impressed me that much from the very start.

When I first met her she was the first woman who could carry a conversation. I would talk with her for hours. She was always open, honest and candid.

She is hilarious, quick to laugh, sincere and empathetic.

My wife is brilliant. I've seen her overtake a college election, run several student and church organization and growing as she starts her own business.

She was fearful of having kids telling me after we had one that she never really wanted kids. I've sat back and watched her become the amazing mother she is.

Mostly she is the perfect yin to my yang. Hanging up in our room is one of those craft signs that says our last name with a phrase underneath it. Most of these craft signs say, "happily ever after," "together forever," or "est. 2001." This one reads, "She knew what I was when she picked me up."

She knew I was a wild and crazy clown and yet she married me anyway. 10 years and it feels like yesterday. She is one of the best blessings in my life.
