thankful#19: Cowboy Dan

by Karmen |

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.
