I do have to say though, that 3 years just doesn't sound like a very long time at all (especially when we have been together for almost 11 years)! It doesn't feel like it's been three years since I woke up and put on the beautiful wedding dress and watched David cry like a baby as I walked down the aisle (One of the best and SWEETEST memories of my life). Seeing those tears as I made my way to his side, made me realize even more how much he truly loved me and how strongly he cares for me.
I am so blessed to be able to share my life with David. I know everyone says this, but he really does make me want to be a better person. I can't think of kinder, more friendly, and caring person then him. I am truly AMAZED everyday at how slow to anger David is and how patience just abounds him. I struggle daily with my temper and patience and I wonder how in the world he handles me most days. In every area of my life that I fail to be the kind of person I should be, he picks up the slack and makes me feel whole.
Sometimes I think that he can just read my mind and know every special thought that I think about him, and because of this I don't always verbalize what I think and feel or feel for him like I should. The job that David does everyday isn't and easy one. He's at work more then he is at home and he functions on very little sleep. Through all of this he walks in the door with a smile on his face, and ready to spend time with me and the baby. I am truly grateful for his wonderful and positive attitude. He could very easily walk in the door and kick off his shoes and sit on the couch and do nothing...but he doesn't! He does just as much as I do, he cleans the kitchen after dinner, plays with the baby, we go for a family walk and then he baths, dresses and put the baby to bed and spends time with me all on maybe 4 hours of sleep some days.
David really does seem like the perfect man to me. Yes, there are days we want to strangle each other; but more often then not, if we have a disagreement, it's because I've gotten upset over something silly. Sometimes I don't feel worthy of the wonderful man the Lord has blessed me with, but I do know how truly lucky I am. Not all husbands are as hands on and focused on their families like David is.
So David,
For all that you do for us, all the love, attention and hugs that you share with us I am truly grateful. You do such a great job providing for our family and working so very hard. I'm thankful for your never ending patience and all your kind and loving words. Thank you for building me up and making me feel so special to you! EVERY little thing you do for me or to help me out doesn't go unnoticed and I appreciate you so much. You're the best friend I've ever had. I hope with every year we are together, I become a better wife and friend to you, because you deserve my best. So, as our lives change, and we over come more challenges, and we share more happiness, I will be there with you every step of the way. I promise that I will love you more today then I did the day before. You mean the world to me and I love you so very much!
And There to I pledge you my faith...
