It seems as though there has been a rash of “I love my spouse” blogs lately…or maybe only two that I’m aware of. Well hold on to your hat ’cause we’re goin’ in for another.

On this date three years ago, with weather that resembles that which we have had for the last week, with candles, twinkle lights, a few hundred guests, a few gifts, and a dessert buffet that I never saw, Jessica and I got married. Best thing I ever did (aside from my metaphorical marriage to Jesus).

Did you know that my wife can’t be drawn? No, it’s true. Nobody can draw her smile. Over the years I can recall three talented artists who attempted and failed to draw her wonderful and unique smile. I think it’s her tongue that sticks out just a little bit. Whatever it is, it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Honestly, few things compare to the amazing power of her smile. It brightens a room, and makes my heart sing.

My wife is compassionate and caring and is genuinely concerned about others. I don’t mean this in a cheesy way at all, in the way that Time Magazine might say about Brad Pitt. Her heart truly goes out to those who hurt and suffer. She’s an amazing woman who knows how to love. I feel loved by her, she challenges me to more purely love others. By looking at her I learn about Jesus and how he loves his creation. It’s a beauitful thing.

If you’ve seen my wife you’d already know that shes gorgeous. Thats a given. If you’ve seen me you’d know that I look like Farah Fawcet. God is good.

I can’t wait to celebrate our six year anniversary. The first three years have gone by quickly, but I can honestly say that they’ve been three of the best years of my long and luscious life. I should write more, but I think I’ll save the rest of my words to be whispered in her ear while we camp this week. I love lamp and I love my wife.
