On nights like tonight, when I'm feeling down for seemingly no reason at all, I have God to thank for giving me such an incredible husband. I'm sitting here, picking at the skin around my nails, my breathing getting faster, and my eyes burning from tears, and suddenly the atmosphere changes.
I have an awesome candle warmer that looks vintage and gives a gorgeous glow when it's dark. My husband picks out a scent that transports us to Autumn, my favorite season, and turns out the lights. The room is dressed in dark shadows and an entirely romantic light, the scents of Autumn drifting through the air like the Spanish-sounding music that is playing in the background. My husband reaches for my hand, ignoring the mound of homework that is waiting for him, and pulls me to my feet. We proceed to dance terribly and laugh loudly as we spin each other across the room, risking injury every second that we continue. We can not dance. That is a fact. But I love dancing, and I love dancing with him. He knew this, he knew how I was feeling, and he set the room up to be relaxing and fun. In this little moment, just a snippet of time, he managed to make me happy and chase away the dark cloud that had been hovering over my heart. He managed the impossible, and I love him dearly for that. I'm thankful for this man every single day. Every. Single. Day. Thank you, God, for putting him in my life. <3
