This Man Of Mine....

This man of mine is my dream come true. He is more than just my husband, more than just the father of my children.

 

My husband is also a soldier and a naturalized U.S. Citizen. This was the day he graduated from basic training and became a citizen. One of the proudest moments of our marriage.

He taught me to be open to new things. He is helping me to accept change and to be open to it. Because of him I discovered that genuine Mexican food is the best thing since ice cream.

In his downtime he loves to cook. I have learned to cook from him. He has a natural talent and is very humble about his abilities to plate amazing food.

He is the sunlight in my sky

the water to my flowers

the oxygen that I breathe.

I love this man.

He makes me feel safe

 

He makes me feel loved

 

He makes me feel important.

 

The kids and I are like plants without rain when he is not around.

 

We function

 

We carry on

 

We love him unconditionally.

 

He is a man of few words.  A man who comes home every night to his family after a hard days work.

Even though he has a day job, he is not opposed to picking up side jobs, or helping a friend out, or working on a project at our house.

 He is a man who loves to laugh, but often tries not to laugh. A man with a smile that can light up a room. A man who sometimes sits quietly observing.

 

 
 

 





We spend weekends out and about with the kids.

Together we are a team. Though his job often takes him places that we cannot follow, we remain strong for the kids. Talking as often as possible.

I have learned through loving him, that I am perfect just the way I am. He encourages me to be me and to be my best at all things. I am blessed to call him my husband.

He made sure that our move from El Paso to Tennessee went smoothly. Four adults, two kids and a Chihuahua all made the trip safely.

He earned his time to rest, play with his phone and watch soccer.

 

He is currently on a new adventure.

 

 

I smile like this because he loves me. Because he makes me laugh even when I don't want to laugh.

Shortly after he left, I attended a make-over, I felt so beautiful and so sad because he was only going to see the results via picture.

 

And this is my cranky really missing him face.
Day by day it goes by. Hour by hour slips by as always I watch the clocks. The digital readouts sending out the message that time is passing ever so slowly.

I love you handsome man, and this is dedicated to you.

For better or worse,
In sickness and in health,
Until death do us part,

I LOVE YOU!
