I can't believe it has been 11 years--it doens't seem like less,... but that just sounds too long for 2 as young as us (especially one as young as I).
I am so grateful for my David. To describe him is impossible--he is beyond words, but I just call him "Mr. Poppins" --go watch Mary Poppins (one more time never hurts) and you will see that she measures up just like David, "Practically Perfect in Every Way"!!
My David knows how to love me, how to comfort me, how to make me smile, and how to put up with my moods (wow, that is a lot to learn, even in 11 years).
The other day the boys and I were discussing an article in The Friend we had just read. I was telling them that when we make others happy we will, in return, be truly happy ourselves. That we shouldn't focus on our own happiness, but look at others and think of way to make them happy. Eli replied, so sincerely, "You mean like Dad does for you?"
I was blown away by his instant reply and was reminded of what a great husband I have and what he is teaching his boys!
I love you, Mr. Poppins!
*David cut my hair this morning--just another sign that he will do just about anything to make me happy.
