Today Mike and I have been married for 4 years. Sometimes I can't even believe I have been out of high school for that long. I find it hard to think that I have 2 kids (still pregnant but she counts). I think maybe it's because Mike makes it so easy for me. I never wonder if I was too young to get married or if I should have dated around more.
I feel like I just barely caught Mike. If you have ever had an almost accident...not realizing you are about to hit another car or that you are about to fall off the edge of something and you end up fine but you are still scared for a while after...you know...so if you have had that feeling you will know what I am talking about. I can't believe he married me and I am so glad he is stuck with me.
My dad tells me all to often that I over married...he is more right than he knows. Mike comes home and starts to clean things up around the house. I often have to ask him to stop doing dishes, laundry or other stuff b/c I am in the process and he is getting in the way. He is ALWAYS helping me out with Ava. He has been working at least 2 jobs most of our marriage, sometimes 3, and still finds time to hang out with me. I know I give him a hard time b/c I want to spend even more time with him but I think I wouldn't be satisfied if he were independently wealthy and was home with me all the time.
Mike is a rebuke to me in so many ways. There are so many times he shows great self control. He is always doing things the right way...step by step...and doing those things to the very best of his ability. He is disciplined beyond belief. Yes there are Bible studies and activities that are all very good for him to be involved in...but Mike is an example of Christ to me most when he is at home. I am so glad my girls have his as a dad. Mike is their example for what a husband is and I couldn't be more confident in him.
Grandma Sanders told me what I think I will probably tell my grand kids one day...
"I believe he must have loved me more than I loved him, for he put up with me for all those years."
