20 Years of Bliss

My life really is quite amazing. I do not think I could ask for anything else to make it any better.  I have a beautiful family, a lovely home in a beautiful state, wonderful jobs (coaching, subbing, aerobics instructor), the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life, and my health.  I am very happy.  I owe it all to my sweet husband, Kevin.  He works hard for our family.  He keeps us out of debt, encourages us all to set goals and always better ourselves, looks for ways to help our home, and shows that he loves us through his actions.

So yesterday after the carpet was installed, Kevin and I started bringing all the furniture down with the kids help, we fixed baseboards and painted walls.  Brooke decided to invite some friends over for a movie night so we needed to get it all done by 6:00.  I pulled the last piece of tape off the wall after painting at 5:58 and then we hurriedly cleaned up all the debrie.  After, Kevin asked me to sit down and close my eyes.  He then played the song...Close Your Eyes by Michael Buble and danced with me in the middle of the floor.  He said for me to listen to the words and that is what he thought of me.  I have never heard the song before so it was so sweet to listen to how he felt about me.  Here are the words...we were supposed to go to the Copper Door for dinner but Kevin was not feeling well (he had a cold) so we will just do that next week.  I am so blessed to have what I have after 20 years.  Even through the ups and downs I can always find bliss.  I love my life.

Close your eyes 
Let me tell you all the reasons why 
Think you’re one of a kind. 
Here’s to you 
The one that always pulls us through 
Always do what you got to do 
You’re one of a kind 
Thank god you're mine. 

You’re an angel dressed in armor 
You’re the fair in every fight 
You’re my life and my safe harbor 
Where the sun sets every night 
And if my love is blind 
I don’t want to see the light. 

It’s your beauty that betrays you 
Your smile gives you away. 
Cause you’re made of strength and mercy 
And my soul is yours to save 
I know this much is true 
When my world was dark and blue 
I know the only one who rescued me was you 

Close your eyes 
Let me tell you all the reasons why 
You’re never going to have to cry 
Because you’re one of a kind 
Yeah, here’s to you 
The one that always pulls us through 
You always do what you got to do, baby 
Because you’re one of a kind. 

When your love pours down on me 
I know I’m finally free 
So I tell you gratefully 
Every single beat in my heart is yours to keep 

So close your eyes 
Let me tell you all the reasons why, babe 
You’re never going to have to cry, baby 
Because you’re one of a kind 
Yeah, here’s to you 
You’re the one that always pulls us through 
You always do what you got to do, babe 
'Cause you’re one of a kind. 

You’re the reason why I’m breathing. 
With a little look my way 
You’re the reason that I’m feeling 
It’s finally safe to stay!
