When he said his vows before God and men &#8211; he meant them and has proven true to his word over and over.<\/p>\n<p>2.?? He loves Jesus more than me.?? That should be number 1 because it is the reason for all the rest in the lineup I think.<\/p>\n<p>3.?? He is an amazing Daddy.?? We shared the dream of parenthood for 7 years before we got to celebrate the title.?? He has done just as he told me he would.?? He prioritizes their needs.?? He nurtures them.?? He teaches them.?? He wrestles with is boys and kisses his daughter&#8217;s dolls for her.?? :)?? He reads them stories and prays with them before bed.?? He tries his best to follow Jesus so that he can lead them.<\/p>\n<p>4.?? He is the most loyal person I know.<\/p>\n<p>5.?? He is a man of character.<\/p>\n<p>6.?? He is unselfish.<\/p>\n<p>7.?? He is humble.<\/p>\n<p>8.?? He has a good sense of self and doesn&#8217;t need me to &#8220;be&#8221; anything other than what I am.<\/p>\n<p>9.?? He is honest.<\/p>\n<p>10.?? He understands grace better than I do and he helps me find freedom.<\/p>\n<p>11.?? I think he is some kind of superhero because it feels like he can do anything.<\/p>\n<p>12.?? He never makes me feel unloved, unworthy, or insignificant.<\/p>\n<p>13.?? He lets me write on this blog and say whatever I want to say and he could care less.?? \ud83d\ude42 :)?? He has never issued a gag order.?? I think it is because he is a humble person and he trusts me so he doesn&#8217;t have an agenda that would be violated by my openness.<\/p>\n<p>14.?? He treats me respectfully and is teaching our children to respect their mama.<\/p>\n<p>15.?? Holy cow &#8211; I am at 15 already and feel like I just started!?? He is brave and courageous, he doesn&#8217;t ruffle easily, he is determination personified, he prioritizes his family above all else and always considers us, he dreams of all that he can do for his kids, he provides for us and never complains.?? I am hopelessly and passionately in love with my man.?? In fact, I love him more today than I did 15 years ago.?? Tanner, Ty, Tori and I were given so much when God gifted us with Jim.<\/p>\n<p>I love you Jim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love the vintage look of scarves wrapped like this.??
