Happy 10 Months of Marriage Husband

In the past 10 months of beautiful marriage, I've learned a lot about this sweet husband of mine. In the hope of only embarrassing him a little, here are some of the amazing things that I have witnessed since we were married...

• When I least expect it, he is handing over beautiful bouquets of my favorite flowers. Early on he learned the Korean word for Lily - my favorite flower. When I see him with the flowers, it always reminds me of how love changes us and takes me back to the heart of God's love. 
• We've gone through countless pet names, all of which would embarrass him too much, so I'll save them for us. But, I never thought exotic and endangered animals could be pet names.
• Every morning - he hits the alarm, even if I'm sleeping closer to it. He turns on the hot water for my shower and he makes my breakfast and lunch. It's safe to say it takes me a long time to wake up these days. 
• Every morning I get a text message from the sweet guy telling me he loves me and saying a prayer over our day. 
• He knows when I need to be held. He says I take on the look of a scarecrow with my arms stretched out and my hands flapping up and down. He holds me. 
• He's been humbled in his love and communication. He's always seeking understanding of his thoughts and feelings, always desiring to communicate in a way that brings glory to God. He begins by saying, "I want to talk, please." 
• He's my strength to speak when I can't. 
• He's writing music again. He's working on an amazing song that really cries out in worship of a great God. I like his original stuff much more than the classical piece that I think he plays just to annoy me sometimes! 
• He's excited about getting a dog, Kimchi
• His leadership has truly transformed my relationship with God. 

 These are just some of the things...I didn't include a lot of what I could have, but those things are for us to laugh about throughout our many more years together!

 

2 more months and we will reach the big year mark! We've decided not to go on another international trip, but instead to borrow a car from a friend and do one last road trip up the East coast of Korea. Neither of us have really seen much of the East coast so we are getting excited!
