Jason, I remember when you asked me out. I almost fell out of the chair. How could this gorgeous and very gentlemanly guy be interested in ME? I was the girl who always found the bad guys, and they found me, too. I remember thinking, "How could I tell this guy no?" And later, when I couldn't decide what to do, my mom said, "What is it that you love about him?" I answered, "We can sit on the porch drinking coffee, and we don't have to say ANYTHING. We can just BE." I'd never had that with anyone. Everyone else had to be entertained. Not you, though. I could look into your green eyes and smile, and you were happy to recieve just that. I felt so safe with you, so perfectly fit in your arms, with my head against your chest, and your lips in my hair. I have never been so happy to be short in all my life:) I loved looking up to you, in all your tall glory:) You were like water in the desert. Then, when you asked me to marry you-of course I thought you were joking. I'm so glad you were not! Our friendship has grown deeper over the years, and I am so thankful for that. Sometimes people grow apart. We have grown closer. With God in the center of it, we can only grow closer to each other as we lean in toward HIM. You have grown spiritually, and emotionally, and so have I. You are the perfect compliment to my life. You are such a good Daddy, and I hope Drew grows up to be so much like you. Thank you for stealing my heart away, that first night that I met you, in the midst of my messy, crazy life, and pulling me in to the shore. Thank you for continuing to steal my heart every day. I love you. Happy anniversary.
