strange how every year on his birthday, i feel like i'm given the gift. i love Jeff's birthday, i really do. it's such a great chance to pause and celebrate all that this man means to me and our family. i won't gush too much here because he gets uncomfortable with that (which is exactly why i should haha), but i can say with certainty that back when we started this journey of life together God knew what challenges would be ahead. He knew of the grind and the mess and the days we'd need to push hard with grit just to move forward. knowing all of that, He chose Jeff for me. that leaves me in awe and so thankful for the way God's plan was suited perfectly for my needs. i didn't deserve that gift, but by grace it was given to me anyway. this guy is a rock, as solid and sure as the warming February sunshine. his stability gives balance to my "over-thinking-beat-myself-up-relentlessly" brain. he makes me laugh every single day and he loves me and our children (and our kids on loan) so well. with Jeff, what you see is what you get. thank goodness for that.
look at us, just babies...
here's to you, Jeffrey. thanks for sharing your life with me. i'm convinced i'm among the luckiest, except i know luck had nothing to do with it :)
