And I thought I loved you then...

I was browsing through my sister's blog today. I love watching all of the old videos she has posted of the babies. I found this precious picture as I was looking around. My heart melted when I saw it. This is me and my sweet husband fishing on the most beautiful day.

As I look at this picture, it reminds me of one of the many reasons I fell in love with Blake. We started dating around Spring. I can remember anything we ever did together was always outside--whether it was fishing, riding four wheelers, attempts at taking me turkey hunting, camping, or just riding around in the country on beautiful days like we have had here lately. So, when this time of year rolls around, I feel like I have fallen in love with him all over again. There is just something about it. It takes me back and I can remember exactly the way I felt when I first started seeing him. As cliche as it may sound, I never stop falling in love with him.

It amazes me how different we truly are but yet so very much in love. Blake is just such a happy person. High on life. He is so silly. I have never met anyone who can make me laugh the way he does. I am such a perfectionist--always organized, always stressing. I admire the way he lives from day to day. Never worrying. Always thankful. Always able to make me smile no matter what. We balance each other out. I truly believe God sent him to me for more reasons than I can count...for more reasons than I even know of. He is my angel. He reminds me every day that the simple things in life are what truly matter. It is days like the day in that picture that matter. Enjoying God's beautiful creations. Enjoying His gifts to us. Enjoying each other.

No amount of money, no materialistic thing in this world can beat what this guy has given me. Every day is an adventure with him and I look forward to many, many more. He is my very best friend. My sweet country boy :)
