I want you

I literally have an amazing wife.

I am working a TON of hours at work. It's really overwhelming and I get super stressed. Sometimes I say things that reflect a small desire in my heart and Becky listens. She is the kind of listener I wish I could be.

Today was an especially rough day. I don't like to talk about things that bother me, as I prefer to let my friends and family do the talking.

Becky knows me better.

At the end of an eleven hour I am trying to rescue an INCREDIBLY disappointing sales day, and I look up...

In walks my amazing wife, and my poor sick little goob.

What a surprise to get to see my family. They are my inspiration, and my place of refreshment. I love my family. I love every minute with them.

Wait...what???There's more????

She pulls out my favorite beverage on earth...Diet Coke. Ice cold. Oh man, she knew exactly what would totally give me a little boost right before I close the store for the night. It tastes amazing. What an amazing woman.

That's not it? Nope.

She tells me to close my eyes, so I do. She pulls out another little treat...what is it? The new Kings of Leon CD.

Background...I mentioned maybe one time in passing that I loved that band, and wanted to buy their CD on iTunes. FOUR MONTHS AGO! So knowing that I needed a boost, and showing me how important I am to her, she walks in with things that would cheer me up, and get me through another day.

Rebecca, you are amazing! No one compares to you, and no one could ever even compete for my affection. You do so many things that tell me you love me, and I will always love you first and most. Our children will come next though in a distant second. Everything I do is for you, and as long as I have breath, I will be a servant to you, and your friend, and lover for life. I will adore only you, and pursue only you. I love you, thank you for being everything I could ever want, or need, and more.

I work for the same company as my husband and when he knows I'm having a rough day he will bring me a diet coke and it is the perfect pick me up.

Aren't our spouce's amazing?! God is so good to us. It's funny how humbling being married can be. I literally thought I was perfect prior to getting married, and I see how much I need Becky and I see how incomplete without her I am. How could I have lived so long without her? It's a great representation of my relationship with God...so loving despite how undeverving I am.
