Andrea

Some of the reasons I love thee.

  • When we’re reading, in silence, I know every 10 minutes, (At least) I know she will laugh.  I know then she will look at me until I look back at her, and then say, “I have to read this to you.”
  • She is so firm in her beliefs.  No one is going to sway her, and she is not going to back down.
  • Have you seen her eyes?
  • The way she can’t quite wake up until a cup of coffee.
  • Do you know how often she writes Saxby Chambliss?  If he ever goes to prison, I KNOW he will have a pen pal.
  • Andrea is not only the HOTTEST girl I have ever seen, she’s smarter than me.
  • She’s feisty.  Sometimes, right before I get mad, and we argue, I have to try not to laugh.  Sometimes I do laugh.  Because she is cute as a button when she’s mad.
  • Have you seen her eyes?
  • This list could go on forever, but she is home from her bridal shower.  So, I have to help carry stuff.

    Andrea’s mom asked me last night what I thought about your choice in a wife after having known you for so long. I told her that I couldn’t be happier! I was kind of at a loss for words, because I didn’t know how to express without sounding somewhat creepy that I am so absolutely proud of you and I think Andrea is the most beautiful and perfect person ever for you! I am so happy that you two found each other and even more happy that you plan to spend the rest of your lives together. She makes you beautiful and you make her beautiful and the way you complete each other makes this world more beautiful too. I look forward to your wedding and many more years of friendship with the two of you!!!

    sounds like you have a good woman!!

    i know i’m not supposed to judge people, but you and i know we can’t really help it on one level or another. i always judge men on how they talk about their wife. i immediately respect men who honor their wives with their words. my dad was a great example of this for me, and he taught me that you can learn a lot about a person by how they speak of their spouse in public.

    here’s some unsolicited advice from a guy who has been married for a few years now (we just hit 6 years this past june). never talk bad about your wife. not in private, not in public. if you have stress and strife in your relationship, and believe me you will (even if it’s low intensity!), pray about it, talk to a mentor, but never badmouth her. words are powerful. they influence your heart and soul, and they influence others’ opinions of you. always honor her. all sorts of feelings and actions begin with mere words. honor her. she deserves it!

    Wow. Thank you so much for that advice. Congrats on the 6 year mark, that’s awesome. That is advice I will carry with me for many years. Again, I appreciate your words man!

    I’ve been following your blog for a while now that I’ve been in touch with Andrea again after many years. I knew her when she was just a girl (and I was a teenager) and haven’t had the honor of getting to know her much yet as an adult, but she’s always been special to me. I’m so glad that you are marrying her and that you obviously love her so much and that you love her as she is. She’s beautiful. Thanks for loving her so well!
