Us

My kids are great. They're cute, sweet, precocious, amazing...you get the idea. And that's why this blog is mainly about them. But today, I'm going to leave all the cute things the kids have done this week to your imagination and focus on my other love....my husband. Sometimes in the craziness of kids, work, house, friends, etc., I lose focus on how I got here in the first place.

Josh and I actually went to the same school starting in 6th grade, but we didn't meet until our senior year. We started dating 5 months before we graduated. At the time, he was planning on going to Texas Tech, and I already had a dorm and roommate secured at A&M. We were going to try to make the long-distance thing work, but I wasn't sure how. Then I decided to change my major...and it just so happened that Tech had a much better program than A&M, so a Red Raider I became! (On a side note, I dropped out of that program 2 semesters in!)

To make a long story short, we dated through college, and Josh proposed to me on the way home to SA for Thanksgiving about a month before we graduated. We got married 9 months later, moved to Fort Worth, bought a house, got a dog, had a kid, had another kid, and that brings us to today.

There it is...an abridged version of us. We have basically grown up together. We've gone from being 17-year-olds who knew nothing, to 30-year-olds who know a little bit, but still have a long way to go. I have learned a few things in the last 13 years though...being married to a kind, Godly man is what every girl deserves, and I'm so grateful that God brought Josh and me together.

Things I love about Josh:
-He loves God and is teaching our kids to love God.
-He is an AMAZING daddy.
-He doesn't care what other people think about him.
-When he sets his mind to something, he doesn't stop until it gets done.
-He's a great provider and works hard so I can stay at home with the girls.
-He loves coffee almost as much as I do.
-He doesn't care if I cook dinner every night.
-He tells me I look beautiful, even when my hair is frizzy and I have a big zit on my nose.
-He takes over with the girls in the evenings so I can go do things by myself.
-He occasionally watches chick flicks with me (don't tell him I told you!)
-He puts up with my HGTV obsession.

There. Now, if I ever complain about him on this blog, you'll have to remember that you read this and I really do love him.....even if he does drive me crazy on occasion!

This is from a couple of years ago, but it's the most recent picture I have of just the two of us...guess we should be better about picture-taking!
