I will forever...

Ok, Back before there was "real" scrapbooking I had this big book I used to put things in and while going through stuff I came across this page. I had to scan it in to make it a quick screen saver for the hubby while he is gone so he can remember the old days and how young we were. I also kept several of his little notes he wrote to me. The ones they put in our little mail box. I chuckled when I read some of them. No I won't share those with everyone but the one about sharing showers to conserve on water usage was a good idea back then I'm sure. It did bring me back to the 80's. WOW we were so young!! And COOL HAIR!! It has been 19 years and yet it just seems like just yesterday.

Andrew wrote something to me yesterday that meant so much to me after writing so much about how he has found his soul again. He wrote about finding part of his inner voice and his inner self. Funny, he thinks he is still stuck in the 80's somewhat but he really isn't (why I thought he needed to see the pictures). He has grown so much more than that! He doesn't really see it now but he will eventually.

This is what he asked at the end of a great paper on responsibilities of a man - responsibilities he plans to take care of and responsiblities he plans to continue to grow on. I am so proud of how he is just reaching out on his own trying to find HIS center and his peace. Reaching out through the right friends and his communication with me and his inner self.

Here is what he wrote:

"I sit here on the precipice of the ivory tower in which I have lived since and ask you from the innermost of my heart (there truly is one) five words vice four—Would you marry me, still? I want you to think it over, not be hasty and give me a true response. If the answer is yes, which is what I want to hear, else wise I wouldn’t ask, I vow to make the best husband ever. I don’t and cannot think of the alternate answer."

My answer is

I will forever!!

He asks “why do you love me”
She says “ because God has a plan”
He says “that makes no sense”
She says “ I know”
He says “ I asked, Why then do YOU love me”
She says “ because GOD loves me and he says LOVE you”
He says “ what does God have to do with me”
She says “ because God has a plan”
He says “ but why is God making our plans”
She says “ because he knows how it ends and he says stick around I love you Trust in Me it Will be worth it”
He says “ It would be easier…..
She buts in “ God didn’t give me choices – I am doing what God said. UNCONDITIONALLY I DO FOREVER just as he LOVES me.
He says again “ now why do you love me?”
She says “ because HE loves you now lets go make great things out of this HE has a PLAN!!”
