I realize that it wasn’t all that long ago that I posted this cheesy wedding picture
but thought it was an appropriate prelude
to
thankful#19: Cowboy Dan
last night
after putting the rascals to bed
Cowboy Dan and I went to roost
in our chairs
turned on the TV
nothing on
so we turned it off
and began to talk
during our time of trivial conversation
I began to think about how blessed I am to
have a husband who will willingly converse with me
even after two decades of my babbling
“We’re an honest pair” he says to me often
and we are
brutally honest
we love dry humor
and are sinfully sarcastic with one another
he does not open doors for me or
buy me lavish gifts
he’s predictable
RELIABLE
simple
NOBLE
traditional
his words are often minimal
but what is said
is wise
and sincere
he works HARD
at home
and
away from home
His way with a horse is magical
and unmatched
He is a follower of Christ
who loves “our unit” which is what he calls our family
He is patriotic
and civil
an Eagle Scout
a FIRST class father to our boys
and
I am honored to be his wife
for life.
