What makes me love you...

To My Mr. Duran~
 You have been by my side since I was 16 years old and at first as a friend and then one day God opened my eyes to the man he made for me and it was lighting in my heart for me. From our first kiss in your car on that summer night and how my chest exploded with fire and it was something I had ever experienced, you sir had me hooked.

 For the past 10 years you have loved me through ever struggle, every sorrow, every smile and laugh. You have been there hold my hand and standing by my side, making me laugh till my side hurt and I can't breath. You have wiped away my tears and held me when I thought the world was going to crash on to my soul. You have shown me how to pray and to trust God with ever fiber in my body. You have fought with me till there was no more words to say and we have unfortunately hurt each other along the way but with out pain and mistakes you will never know grow and learn. Even with those mistakes you loved me through them and we have came out stronger for those mistakes and experiences.

 You have helped me with loving my self and I a finely seeing a little bit of what you see.
  You think of me and get me a diet coke when you are out running errands. You let me pick where we eat and you listen to my crazy dreams I have and you listen  me ramble on about whatever is on my mind and you listen like I am telling the most interesting story ever. You have read Twilight and you watch the movies with me. You love rap music.
 You are horrible at giving gifts and you keeping secrets. You love to pick on me when I am in the worst mood ever!! You get water ever where when you do the dishes and you forget to clean out the sink. You throw the paper on the floor and you always get stuff on your shirt but when I do you always say " Really baby". When I say something dumb or make a mistake you laugh at me and look at me like I am a child and say " baby girl really"?  Drives me crazy but it is who you are and I love all of you.
 You text me every morning and tell me to have a great day. You pray for me when I ask you too. You hold my hand and kiss my forehead. You forgive me easily and you forget with out a second glance. You take pictures with me even though you hate it.
 You love our children and you show them everyday. You make our son laugh and our daughter cry when you sing to her. You will teach our son how to be a man and our daughter how to be a lady and show her how a man should love her, because she will see how you love me. You will show our son how to take of his family and how to trust God no matter how hard life his may get. Our children will never question if you love them. You are an amazing father and our children our so blessed to have you.
  I love you with everything and I more blessed everyday that I am married to you.
 XOXO
 Mrs. Duran

Empowered...

I found this today and it spoke straight to my heart. I have a God that knows that I will have times of not liking my self and right here it shows that he truly know our in's and out's of our hearts and how we may feel about ourselves one day and he put it in the bible for us to see that God made us perfect in his eyes.
 My favorite is " YOU ARE EMPOWERED"  I love that becaues it is how I feel right now. I have decided to take a step foward and take back my life and I do feel empowered and I feel a strenght in my heart that I havent felt in a very long time. I have a ways to go but I feel great and I am happy. I felt pretty all day and it true if you feel great on the inside it shines through.
 I was reminded that my husband finds me beautiful and that he thinks I am sexy. Hearing that just made my whole day. I love reading sweet texts from him and still have my breath taken away and get the butterflies in my stomach. A friend told me if I stopped being so hard on my self that I would see that my husband is in awe of me like I am him and I saw that today from him.
 With my family and friends by my side helping me through the rough patches I know I can keep going and finish what I have started because I am done giving up on my self. God has empowered me to move foward and not to look back....
