Thirteen Lucky Years

November 6, 2012 by Elaine

There is this certain man in my life…

He stole my heart many years ago.

He’s a really good cook, when he has time.

He likes to grab my butt while I’m doing dishes or brushing my teeth (hey, it’s true) (and thank goodness he still does!).

He has changed a little since I first met him but then so have I.

He can fall asleep anywhere but puts up with my shopping habits, so it evens out.

He loves to gift me with electronics and sometimes I think, “geez, where’s the bling” but then I realize that I love and wanted whatever he gave me instead.

He knows me so well.

He is a great father and loves on his kids and works hard for them and me.

He’s a Cowboy fan but I’ve long since forgiven him for it.

He makes a mean Saturday morning breakfast.

He puts up with my emotional crazies that occasionally occur.

When he grabs my hand it still feels like it did 13 years ago.

My life revolves around the life we have made together.

He is the man I always wanted and has helped make all my dreams continue to come true.

I love you so very much Tim, thank you for all that you do for me and our children and for loving me back.  I am so very glad God put us in the same place at the same time 17 years ago!

Happy 13 Years!  And here’s to many, MANY more!

This is us through the years, with our wedding in the center (obviously) and then starting with the year 2000 and working clockwise around to 2011.  (click to enlarge)

    I ain’t so sure being a Cowboy fan is a forgivable sin.

    Happy Anniversary! Y’all are such a cute couple. Poor Tim – I know how hard it is to be a Cowboys fan these days.
