When I was young, I often thought about what kind of girl I might marry one day. All kinds of questions went through my mind:
-
Will I ever find a girl?
-
Will she stick with me?
-
Can I really get a hot one?
-
Will we fight a lot?
-
Will she take away my snowmobiling?
-
Will she be a good mom?
Now, honestly, there’s no way you could ever have all of
these things in 1 single woman, right?
Wrong!
10 years ago, that woman found me. You want to know how she hooked me initially? If you’re thinking that guys will spot you
because you’re nice, or because you have a good job, or because you comb your
hair a certain way, or because you drive a nice car, etc….you’re really full of
crap!! All you gotta do is come into
work one day with a tight red polo shirt and some khakis!! BAM, I’m hooked!! We’re really simple creatures.
Now, how was I able to keep her around until she agreed
to marry me? This was the tricky
part!! I had to fake that I was mature
for a long long time before she finally got the point where she decided it was
too much work to start all over again, so she might as well stick with me!! I have to say, I did a pretty good job of
this at the time!!!
7 Years ago tomorrow, I married this woman, and let me
tell you a few things that I learned.
First, I soon discovered that my list of things I was looking for in a
woman was just the basics of what this woman brought to the table. She is extremely smart and tries her best to
keep me in line. She has made 2 of the
greatest little girls I could ever imagine.
She is the greatest mom to those 2 little girls in the whole
world!! At the same time, she is able to
start an operate an extremely successful business. And if that wasn’t enough, she is the
greatest wife on the planet to me!!
Steph, after 7 years of laughing, crying, and doing life
together, I want you to know that I love you more than ever!! You are truly the greatest thing God has ever
brought my way, and I do not deserve what you have brought to the table in this
relationship! We are not the ideal
perfect marriage, but I love us just the way we are with all of our flaws!
Happy 7th Anniversary Steph! I love you now and forever!
…and I could not ask for more
-Rick
