Yep, I'm the lucky lady who gets to call that man her own, ;) Isn't he dreamy? I think so, and it has even more to do with his heart than that sexy face, <3...
Chris and I are so very different, but that's what makes our relationship so perfect. He sees so much beauty and potential in everything around him. You just need to take a peek in our driveway to know that is the absolute truth! He has this ability to envision the finished product in his mind that I simply do not possess. I try really hard, but until it's finished, I can't see it. So, we buy this BMW, 2000 year model, super cheap. Paint is peeling in a few places. The interior needs a LOT of love! And the driver's side window is a bit reluctant to close. I'm thinking really? What exactly are we going to do with this thing? I mean, sure, it's a BMW and has a wicked cool stance and all, but really? He sees a carbon fiber hood, LED's, new springs, and a rockin' system. Okay, I'll admit it, I can actually see this one too, because it's that cool, but that is not typically how it works with us. ;)
Anyway, the point of this post is to say that he is like that with people too. For some mysterious reason, he picked me out of all the girls in our high school, gave me a wet willy, and asked me to be his girlfriend. (I include the wet willy part just to let you know he's not perfect, lol). What's even more incredible is that once he got to know me, really know me, he decided to love me. I'm telling you, there are a lot of things about me that are not at all lovable. But when he looks at me, he sees what I can be. Somehow I've managed to clumsily convince him there is something special about me, and he chooses to see that all the time, instead of the woman storming out the front door in a fury. Or slamming doors. Or yelling. Or throwing things. It's true. I do those things sometimes. Eeek. I have no idea how he manages to do it, to see beauty and potential in someone who can be so ugly and broken, but he does.
Come to think of it, it kind of reminds me of Someone else I know...
Thank you Chris, for loving me the way Jesus does. You are an amazing husband and father and I am so blessed to call you mine!!!
