...and I thought I loved you then

As of today, Chris and I have been married for 77 days! Everyday I find another reason to love him more and more. From the sweet messages he texts or writes me to the acts of service he does for others to the encouraging words he shares with me and his flexibility in difficult situations...he just has a soft heart and a heart for the Lord. For those that know him well, I'm sure you would agree. I fell in love with this precious man almost 20 months ago in late summer of 2007 and now he is my HUSBAND to have and to hold forever and ever. There are so many unknowns ahead of us right now, but there isn't anyone I would rather have holding my hand along the way.

One thing that we love to do together is sing to songs that are playing on the radio. Sometimes we make up our own words, sometimes we sing duets, and if he's lucky...I even have some dance moves that I can do to the songs. Well, one of our favorite songs on the radio right now is the new song by Brad Paisley, Then. I have pasted the lyrics below in case you haven't heard it. So, slow down for 3 minutes, sit back and enjoy this song and cuddle up with the one you love.

I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you

You had me mezmorized

And three weeks later, in the front porch light

taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight

I hadn't told you yet but I thought I loved you then

Chorus

And now you're my whole life

now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl

Like a river meets the sea,

stronger than it's ever been.

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then

And I remember, taking you back to right where I first met you,

You were so surprised

There were people around, but I didn't care

Got down on one knee right there once again,

I thought I loved you then

Chorus

And now you're my whole life

now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl

Like a river meets the sea,

stronger than it's ever been.

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then

I could just see you, with a baby on the way

And I could just see you, when your hair is turning gray

What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more

But I've said that before

And now you're my whole life

now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl

We'll look back someday, at this moment that we're in

And I'll look at you and say

And I thought I loved you then

And I thought I loved you then
