I love him more!

Hey, everyone!


Today is my 9th wedding anniversary! Yay!!! I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful, supportive and loving husband. God gave me a wonderful gift when He gave my husband to me. I am so thankful for the nine years we have shared and look forward to many, many more! We've had ups and downs just like everyone else, times when we wondered how we'd make it, times we wondered if we wanted to make it, but through it all we've grown and gotten closer. I asked my husband the other day if he thought he loved me the same or more than when we got married 9 years ago and he said definitely more! LOL


My uncle who passed away this year, gave me away at my wedding because my dad was the minister who married us. He had given me some advice, shared his wisdom with me and it was something I still remember. He told me that I might think I was in love with Paul that day but that I wouldn't really understand deep, meaningful love until years down the road. He said after you have been through some things you'll look at him one day and you will just find yourself more in love with him than you ever had. He shared some things about his marriage to my aunt Debbie and I can tell you this that he was absolutely right! There is a HUGE difference in how much I love and why I love him and the depth of love and we've only been married 9 years! I am sure as we face more obstacles, as we GROW through them together, I will find myself more in love with him than I ever imagined!


When I see my husband mowing the grass, batheing our children, reading stories to the children, cooking supper, or helping me clean up the house, I just fall more in love with him. When I see how hard he works for our family, how he values time spent watching our children learn and grow, and seeing the kids run to him when he walks through the door, my love for him grows. When I hear him pray over the meal, lead the family in prayer, look across the seats at church to where he sits with us eager to learn more about God and how to be the man God wants him to be, I love him more.


I am far from the perfect wife. I will never win any special awards for sure! But I love him! I cherish him! I miss him when he is gone and I can't wait to see him again! I love when he texts me to say he is thinking of me and the kids. It's wonderful to know that we have a beautiful family God has made! I love being Mrs. Paul Owens and I know tomorrow I will love it even more!

My brother was kind enough to take this picture of me late last night. My husband had just got home after working on his race car, being underneath it and so please overlook his shirt!! At least I got in another picture! LOLHugs,
