Thank God for him.

Ace isn't perfect, not by a long shot.
BUT... that's one of the reasons I love him so very much. The man works his tail off every day, and then never hesitates to give me a hand when he comes in the door. He plays with his son for hours. He talks to me about what scares him and he includes me in every decision he makes. He values my opinion, and he actually takes some of my advice. Not only that, but he always remembers to give me a hug and a kiss when he walks in the door.. even if I'm an emotional MESS from the pregnancy hormones and I'm probably already nagging his ears off before he's even set his keys down.

You'r probably getting all gaggy and eye-rolly by now, wondering what gives with the sappy little love letter post. Hmm?
Well, I was running around yesterday trying to clean up the aftermath of another day with four 2 year-olds loose in my home and I came upon Ace's MP3 player sitting on our bedroom dresser amongst a pile of clean socks and car keys. I put the little earbuds in my ears and turned it on. There were a few Bone Thugs in Harmony songs which I quickly flipped past (ugh) and I came upon a song that Ace played for me shortly after our son was born. He told me it's our song and I have yet to listen to it all the way through without bawling my eyes out.
The song is called "Things We Didn't Know" by Rodney Carrington.


We were young when we first met,
And I won’t ever forget the way you made me feel that night back then,
Little did I know my life had change forever
inside of you my angel had appeared
All at once the baby came along,
everything was moving fast
but nothing seemed wrong

Chorus
Thank god for that
Things we didn’t know
Thank God for that
If we did we might turn back
Thank God for that
He must have known that we weren’t through
God gave me all I need
He gave me you

We struggled the first few years
There was laughter
There were tears
Through it all somehow we made it work,
Our babies brought us joy
Held us close together,
what we didn’t have we made with love,
Sacrifice you gave when I was gone
Dreams you let me follow
always brought me home

Chorus
Thank god for that
Things we didn’t know
Thank God for that
If we did we might turn back
Thank God for that
He must have known that we weren’t through
God gave me all I need
He gave me you

Everything we have been through
Will bind our love forever
Not a day will ever pass
that we won’t be together
here we are much stronger than we've ever been before
Our souls are sown together and our hearts forever more
I look forward to our future
And what our days shall be
Our kids our life our love are all we’ll ever need
The mother that you are is made me proud
And the wife that you have been
I am so glad I found

Chorus
Thank god for that
Things we didn’t know
Thank God for that
If we did we might turn back
Thank God for that
He must have known that we weren’t through
God gave me all I need
when he gave me you

God gave me all I need cause he gave
He gave me you

SO! My husband? he is perfect. I lied. And he's mine, and you can't have him because I will never ever EVER let go.
