my wife

Today is my wife's birthday.

i wanted to write (or blog as the kids say) about her.

What she means to me and how God can change your life when your 1, or over 1000 miles away.

Haley Madison Gay was born on June 17th 1991 in Dallas ,Texas.

And on that day my life changed forever,

without me having the slightest clue to what was happening,

in that hospital room at Presbyterian Dallas.

She was born 7 pounds 3 ounces. 

She was made from my rib. 

She is my forever. 

She is my wife. 

I truly believe God has made someone for everyone. 

Someone to hold and steal kisses from, to talk to and laugh with.

To cry with and be best friends with.

To start a family with, love God together and pray together.

The person you want to do everything with,

because when you do them alone, it's never the same. 

I am just so fortunate that i found the One I'm supposed to spend my life with at such an early age.

I get to spend so many years and decades with her.

But it truly doesn't matter,

i could spend a thousand centuries with this amazing creature of the Lord's, and still have not spent enough time with her.

But back to why i am writing this blog. 

It is her 23rd birthday, and the 22nd year of her life was so amazing and eventful.

 Our wedding, her graduating from college and her moving to DC to start our life together.

She wrote all about that in her blog last week, if you missed that

scroll down and read it because my wife is an amazing writer.

If you haven't noticed, i ramble a bit but stay with me. 

Its her birthday and i wanted to write a blog to let y'all know how amazing this woman is.

And i realize, most of the people who read this are our family or close friends.

We are truly grateful for y'all and deeply appreciate your continued prayers and support of us and our love story.

But honestly y'all don't know how amazing Hay is at being my wife and loving me every day.

She is always taking care of me and giving me encouragement.

She makes my lunch and kisses me good bye in the morning with these kisses that are so sad to see me go kisses, but so proud of me for being her husband and working to provide for our family kisses.

And she gives me these huge whopper kisses when we see each other at night, after a long day of missing one another and just yearning to spend all day together.

She asks how my day is, not just to ask, but because she cares.

We pray together over our days and the food that she prepares.

Guys seriously my wife is amazing.

Everyday i fall more and more in love with her and feel so blessed to be with this woman of God.

And no I'm not naive, we do have our arguments and we do fight.

But being newlyweds isn't a time frame, it's a way of thinking and a lifestyle.

I have seen it in Hay's parents, in mine, and in both sets of my grandparents.

I have been blessed to be surrounded by marriages,

where it doesn't matter how long they've been together,

they still hold hands, they still kiss all the time (or poot and noodle, as my Mommom calls it),

They laugh and have each others backs,

and are each others best friend.

Hay and i know how blessed we are to have these examples of God given love in our lives.

So back to her birthday,

it's been an amazing 9 months and 16 days being married,

and its only gonna get better.

I'm only going to learn more about this woman i call Hay, Wife, Love, Sweety, Hun, and Big Momma. 

Happy Birthday Haley, you truly are my prayers come true.
