We celebrated 20 years married last week (WOW!) and I wrote the following for Ken. Thought you might enjoy it!
20 YEARS MARRIED, 20 REASONS TO LOVE YOU STILL...
You wrote the song that you sang when I walked down the aisle on our wedding day. I was so happy to be marrying you!
You make me laugh everyday. Some days it's a snicker but often it's a belly laugh.
I love that you work hard but you play harder.
You were willing to go on an adventure to the Yukon for a year and fall in love with it.
You love my family, every crazy one of us.
You are affectionate, loving and passionate.
I love your green eyes and the smiling lines around them!
You are faithful and true. You cultivate an atmosphere of relational safety in our lives.
You dance.
You care more about people than things.
You are generous. You rub my feet with lotion even though I know you hate it.
You speak a blessing over our children every night.
You sing to and with our children. You wrote a song for them when they were born.
You are rarely grumpy.
You are great at accents. My favourites are Jimmy Stewart and Jim from Taxi. Your Robert DeNiro is good too!
You'll go toe to toe with me even when I'm being dogmatic and pigheaded.
You are humble. You can admit when you're wrong and you stop everything with a heartfelt apology.
You don't rub it in when you are right.
You are utterly unique. You have orange feet and a Star Trek Insignia and hands that move simultaneously.
You love God and you love people. You inspire me.
I do not deserve you but I greedily accept and love you!
Jesus,
Thank you for the man I married. He's one of a kind!
'til next time,
Dianna
