…I got married. There are many, many more days that I am glad of that fact than ones where I wonder what I must have been thinking. We make a great team, even though we are quite different. (That thing about opposites attracting really does seem to be true for us!) I am pretty much an extrovert and he is more of introvert. Each is useful in different situations. I am pretty good at getting things  started and also multi-tasking, he is better at staying focused and being well prepared before undertaking a big project. Sometimes we work better by working on our own, too, and it feels good to know that he trusts me to make good decisions that will affect both of us and I can do the same.

Over the years, I have observed that he takes any sort of commitment he makes VERY seriously, so he is not one to give promises very freely. After learning this, I began to feel quite honored that it was ME he chose to stand up with in front of God and everyone to say that he would always be there “until death do us part.” He lives his life with a great deal of personal integrity and humility–so much so that after getting laid off a number years ago, the owner of the company he worked for came back a few months later with an apology and an offer for employment after realizing just how big of a “hole” was created with his departure. Sometimes, even I, who has had more of an opportunity to get to know him and the good that has come form his just being on this planet than most everyone else, can fail to notice and appreciate the ways that he has made my life even better. I pray that we will have many more years for me to improve my skill at noticing these “wonder-full” things!

This is my first attempt at posting with the new editor, so please be patient–technology & I have a very awkward relationship. Thankfully, I do have in-house tech support for the really complicated stuff…
