this one's for you


Dear man o' mine,

Life with you has always been everything but boring.  You can make me laugh until my sides hurt, and make me smile when all I really want to do is give you a good tongue lashing.  You surprise me, inspire me, dare me, and love me completely (because you never do anything half-way).

I know life's been crazy busy lately, with babies crying around the clock, diapers coming out of our ears, and little ones climbing the walls.  Oh and did I tell you that I finally found the handle to the bathroom faucet in the twin's room?  This is our life.  It makes the rare moments we have alone together that much more special.  Last weekend was one of them.

I fell in love with you all over again.  For the millionth time.  It's the little things you do every day that melt my heart.  And it's those moments we walk hand in hand in a crowd of people and see only each other that make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

So, thank you.  Thank you for sharing your favorite sushi rolls with me.  For going to art exhibits and furniture stores.  For being honest.  Always honest.  For holding our baby through his fussiest times.  For taking all of our kids four-wheeling.  For being such a passionate husband and a stellar dad.

And one of these days, we'll own that jeepster commander that we've always dreamed about.


All my Love,

Rubie your Joye


P.S.  I heard our "newest" song on the radio today and I couldn't stop smiling.  And it made me want to go read our box of love letters because I'm sure we wrote that song.

So sweet! And it's so true, isn't it, that the sweetest moments are often the ones that we find amidst the stresses of life! God has a way of providing those moments, I think. =)

Oh Joye ~ what a beautiful post to your honey! Isn't it just so amazing how the Lord made him JUST FOR YOU!!! He loves you sooo very much to bless you with your perfect man, so kind, so tender and yet your very best friend here on earth! I know because HE has done the same for me and even before I clicked on the song I wondered if it was that song! I sent this song to my DH last summer as I was in Florida caring for my Dad when he was dying of cancer. This song made me cry all the time yet reminded me HOW VERY BLESSED I AM to have such a WONDERFUL GODLY MAN to love me and lead our family as the Lord wishes for him to do!

Love and Hugs
