I Don’t Do This…

February 4, 2009 in Music, Pop-Culture with Comments Off

picture-1 …but, today I am. I never review music on this blog for many reasons, but today I bought an EP that EVERYONE needs to get before Valentine’s Day. Husbands, jump over to iTunes and purchase Dave Barnes new EP, “You, the Night, and Candlelight.”

It’s only $3.99 which gives you plenty of scrilla left over to buy some candles, some good takeout, and some bubble bath for February 14th.

Disclaimer: This post is ONLY for you married folk out there…if I see any of you men who are not married picking up all three items at the store I’ll smack ya. If you are dating, you’d better only be getting the candles and food.

The Number 7

June 23, 2008 in Family with 6 Comments

The number 7 is usually equated with the idea of perfection. It has all kinds of spiritual significance all throughout the Bible too.

But today, the number 7 is special to me because Amber and I have been married 7 years! We went out Saturday night to celebrate at The Melting Pot (pics of me making stupid faces below.) First, some lubby dubby thoughts:

Amber is simply incredible. If I could choose anyone, anywhere, I wouldn’t change a thing. I still catch myself checking her out all the time. I cannot believe that I get to be her husband.
Amber takes care of me and makes me the man I am. If you don’t believe me, just watch how I fall apart when she leaves town for a week to visit family. I end up looking like a bum who needs a shave, smells bad, and is hungry.
Pursuing Amber romantically every day is important to me. Sometimes, I fail miserably, but she still loves me.
I want our marriage to be creative. That’s why we work so hard at it. The last thing I ever want to become is the topic at the ladies tea table. When all the other women start griping about their husbands, I want Amber to be able to brag on me and stand out as the woman with the most loving husband around!
We first met in 6th grade! Our first date was our Junior prom and we’ve been together ever since. I still love holding her hand, opening the door for her, and writing mushy notes to her.
I absolutely dig The Connection Church. But not as much as Amber. I eat, sleep and breathe TCC, but I refuse to put TCC before my family. If I ever do, somebody slap the snot outta me.
To Couper: one of the best ways I can do to show you what it means to be a Godly man is to love your momma. That’s why when I come home, momma gets a kiss and hug before you. Momma just comes first. That’s what all the date nights are for. So just get used to the baby sitter thing.
Our marriage is first and foremost about God. That makes it even more amazing!
