My One and Only

As a little girl I always longed for the day to have a "valentine" a day that I would have my one and only that I would call my husband, to love, to hold, to keep. I would dream about what romance was and what it would look like . . . then I fell in love and all the sudden I wasn't so crazy about valentines anymore. I needed to be loved a lot more than one time a year. I needed flowers, gifts, surprises etc. on a regular basis :). Well, I think God knew that and he blessed me with Jerrick Lee Irby. I am not one to sit and talk about how wonderful my husband is. I think God has the perfect person for each of us and knows exactly what we each need and therefore we are all blessed with the perfect person for us! But today, apparently on the day we celebrate love, I wanted to just take a moment and give a little shout out to my hubby.

He has loved me completely since day one. He pursued me when I didn't want to be pursued. He didn't give up on me when I "wasn't ready". He loved me despite my drama. He took me on dates when I hadn't showered in days. He put up with my crazy life and crazy ideas and would politely point me back to reality. He loved my family and put up with my dad and his crazy questions. He loved me for who I was and made me feel like I was the queen of the world!

Okay so now . . .almost 7 years later . . . even though many things have changed he still loves me completely and has shown me that I am his one and only. He has taught me how to love. He admits when he is wrong. He has shown me he will do anything for me and the kids. He has given up job's, bonus's, wants and hobbies for me. He has gone above and beyond to show me I am his and my well being is more important to him then his own well being. He is my one true love and I think I am getting the better end of the deal on this one :)

Don't get me wrong we have had our ups and downs . . . we have times that I am embarrassed to admit. We have said things to each other that we both would do anything to take back. We are imperfect humans but God's grace is sufficient!

He is my one and only and I thank God for him daily. I thank God that I have a man I trust completly and a man that would seriously go to the moon and back if I asked him to! He's one heck of a guy and does a dang good job of loving this girl!

I love you babe and am so thankful for you!
