Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day! I was planning on a whole post about love and marriage. But as I was jotting down notes in my journal, I realized that is not doable in just one post. There is so much to cover, and I look forward to writing about those topics. But for now, I will just post a little tidbit about my love.

Tim & Tree – Feb 14, 2010

This is me and my hubby in one of my very favorite pics of us together. It was taken 6 years ago today at our friend’s wedding. We have changed a little since then, but I don’t think there has been a pic as great as this one since! LOL

That day he gave me a CD of 3 songs he had written for me and recorded. I love all of the songs. They are very special to me, and I have not shared them with the world until today. I was listening to them this morning, and suddenly felt a peace about sharing them. I have always clung to them tightly. I was trying to figure out why. And I think this is it: I am at a place now in my relationship with him where I feel that I am a priority to him. I feel loved, valued, cherished, fought for! I feel secure enough that I don’t have to be stingy with these songs as a way of making myself feel like I am important to him. I know that I am. We have gone through a LOT since this photo was taken. Don’t get me wrong, I was truly happy in this picture. But now, I am even more happy. I have joy. And I have the blessing of a man who fought for his wife and his marriage, who makes God number one in his life so that he is the best husband he can be. That’s my love.

And now, here are the songs that he wrote and recorded for me:
