Riley




Today I decided to post about my husband. Something I haven't done yet, and I have been blogging for over a year now. I've decided to write about him, cause every day I just wonder where this man came from. Yes we have our off days, everyone does, we tend to fight over stupid things, and sometimes my anger gets the best of me, but something in Riley's head or heart or inside of him, has always told him to love his wife unconditionally. Not a day has gone by since we met, where he hasn't told me I was beautiful. And I'm not joking. Some days he comes home from work, and I'm tired, grumpy, and feel so blah.. especially the days where your(you know what) is visiting so u feel so awful. And he comes in with a big smile, and always says, "wow your look great today", or "did I ever tell you, you are beautiful?"... I always roll my eyes and sluff it off, but the other day I actually sat down and really thought about it. About him, and all he has been through with me. He almost lost me a few years back due to my partying and my wanting to live a single life style, but he fought for me, and never once gave up or stopped loving me. He has held me through the hard times, talked to me when I didn't have a friend to confide in, and loved me know matter what I looked like, or no matter the situation at all. He has told me every day he has loved me more and more, and has told me, if he ever passed from this earth, he knows he loved one woman more than he could ever love another.. He is my husband. The man I chose to marry, and spend the rest of my life with. The man at times I have looked at and wondered how i married him, and yet I know in my heart I could never love another. The man who has given me all his heart can give, and yet I know in my heart, I haven't always done the same. I ache inside knowing the days I lost touch with Riley, the days I pushed him away cause what?? Cause he wasn't good enough?? NO.. it was me, being stubborn, and selfish. I cry everyday knowing how i hurt him so bad, but only live for the rest of our life together. Many days I think to myself "I don't deserve him, he is too good for me." But I do deserve him.. He is the man, the father of my two precious girls. The daddy they run home to when he walks through the door. Aubrie lights up so much when she See's him, it brings tears to his eyes when she does. Riley is my best friend. The only one person who has ever been there for me, stood my me, and loved me more than anybody else on this earth. He is a man with a huge heart, he loves his family and me SO MUCH, that he says his heart swells when he thinks of us. He calls many times in the day to say, "kiss the girls", or "i love you"...




Life is short. Life is too short to fight, and bicker, and be upset with one another. I would kill myself if I ever was in such a bad mood or got in a fight with him, and something happened to him on the way to work. Life is too short for moments where your unhappy. I look forward to every day with him. I look forward to bedtime when we sleep like a pretzel together. Every day I love Riley with all my heart, and i know he has loved me more then anything as well. He is the man I will spend the rest of my life with, and love unconditionally till the day we pass this earth. He is my husband, and I couldn't be more proud to say that everyday!!
