First Inaugral Post

Since I spend at least an hour a day looking at other people's blogs while at work...why not create my own? So I did...here it goes.

I was trying to pinpoint when I knew I loved my husband but I couldn't. There was no way to narrow in on one exact, clear moment. Instead several moments came to mind.

I knew I loved my husband when on our first date, I observed him sincerely asking everyone he encountered how their day was going. And I mean everyone, our waitress, the parking toll booth guy, he gave a friendly nod to people on the sidewalk, and waved at people he passed on the road. He still does that today and you can see the look of surprise on people's faces when he looks them in the eye and asks. You know that probably no one had bothered to ask before. Things like that matter.

I knew I loved my husband when I saw him roughhousing with his nephews on the beach. Later, I got to see him hold his baby nephew and gently kiss him on the head. He loves being an uncle and I know he will love being a father. I feel very fortunate to be the one that will be the mother of his children.

I knew I loved my husband when he helped his disabled brother go to the bathroom and not only cleaned him but became furious when he noticed his brother had not been properly cleaned for a while. This was the sealed deal moment. Sam loves his family so much and will fight for their best interest. I wish more people in his family loved him the way he loved them. 

Everyday, there are moments that refresh my love for Sam. He will walk up behind me and kiss me on the shoulder. He will sing a silly song and have me laughing when I was grumpy just a second before. He will speak softly of our future together and his dreams of raising our children in a house on the hill.

I love him and always will.
