I am writing this one from work. I have worked everyday so far this week. Not complaining, just updating. Dustin has me doing odds and ends here, helping move stuff around the warehouse, and paperwork. As I told you last night, he doesn't have the patience to do the paperwork and I enjoy it so it works out perfectly. I am trying to use this time to be a light to the techs. I come in contact with them more here than ever before and it is my time to "make a difference." I try to speak nicely, smile, and I have even left thank you messages for the ones who did their paperwork correctly and made my job easier. I am more amazed everyday at Dustin. He has to be the "bad guy" sometimes to these guys but he tries very hard to be personable and to be someone they trust. I am also amazed at the way he can handle so many things at one time. He does a high stress level job everyday and he does it well. He also has made tons of effort to tell me thank you and to ask me nicely to do stuff. Normally at home, he does this some, but not to this extent. We have become a team here and that is so refreshing. We were always a team at life but now we are at work too. I found a quote today... "I am happy to know that my husband regards me as a woman and a person."-- Katherine Dunham. I told Dustin that this quote described him and he tried to be all tough guy and said "who told you I regard you as a person?" but then he smiled and gave me a wink. I love that we are growing our love more and more. We complete each other so wonderfully and I thank God everyday that he saw fit to place Dustin in my life. He is just tough enough with a super soft side. The other day Amy Garnett text me that Gigi was so sick she hadn't gotten off the couch all day and I read it to Dustin. He looked me straight in the eyes and with all the seriousness in the world said that makes me wanna cry. (he will probably deny this now, but it really happened.) He stands up to me when I need to be put in my place, makes me laugh all the time, supports me through life's challenges, is my shoulder to lean on when I need to cry(if you know me, this is often), and he respects me as a woman and a person who is very capable of doing many things. I couldn't ask for a better partner for this life. Maybe this journey was to show us that as long as we have each other, and Christ as the center of our relationship, we can take on anything. First Corinthians says "4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails." We used "Love Never Fails" as our wedding theme and I chose it for a very specific reason. It is from God's Word and I believe it with my whole heart. We work everyday to live by it. It was a promise to each other before God and our loved ones. We fully intend on living that promise everyday. Oh, I know it won't always be peachy and their will be days I probably won't even like him, but I will love him. And after all, Love never fails.
