Wow 13
years ago today I married Duane, the love of my life! God has done so much in our lives! As we celebrated this past weekend, we realized
how much we have changed. My redneck boyfriend
has turned into a well-rounded guy. He
is still my redneck but the things he tries and does with me, well; let us just
say he probably would have never done them! The same goes for me as well! I think we balance each other out and we are well rounded because of it. For example, this weekend we went to a really
nice restaurant, Rodizio Grill the
Brazilian Steakhouse! The food was AMAZING, however, just like other
places we have gone it was not what Duane would have thought of as a place to
eat. However, just like all the other restaurants
I have talked him into trying he loved it.
What man could hate a place that serves unlimited meat of all kinds to
you! As for me, I have changed out TWO
transmissions, changed tiers, changed the oil, and have learn so much about
cars it is not even funny! But hey,
those mechanics (if needed) cannot pull one over on me :) I feel the
key to our success is that first and foremost God is the center of our home. God comes first in our marriage. God has taught us some hard lessons about
marriage, but has also seen us through those hard times! After that, we have learned to RESPECT each other, always tell the TRUTH (yes, he can even tell me that I
look fat in ….. without me getting mad, which I am not sure he has ever done), and
TRUST each other! Lastly, but not least, ALWAYS be the ONE PERSON the
other can COUNT ON! We support each other and push each other to
reach for our dreams! We spend as much
time together as we can, even if that means going shopping together (which is
not as hard for me lol), or working on a car (like changing out a transmission)!
The one thing I feel as parents that we have/do
right is we SHOW our son what it means
truly to love your spouse! Our son knows
we are not perfect but he also sees that Duane is my best friend and that we walk together (NOT in front or behind). However,
most importantly, that God is holding my
hand, he is holding Duane’s hand, and because of that no matter if we are
in the same room or miles apart, Duane and I are always together! 13
Years ago I did not just say I do to my best friend I said I do to my Adam!
