Sometimes it just hits me...

Tonight I am filled with overwhelming love and gratitude for the man I married.
I guess love is constantly evolving, but I know for sure that when I "said yes"
 I had no idea how great of a guy I was getting. 

Doug is the perfect person for me. He is so level-headed and easy going, he completely balances out my feisty nature. He is so incredibly understanding and quick to pick up the slack at home. He gives me credit where I don't deserve it and never passes up on an opportunity to let me know how much he loves me. 

Doug is an exceptional father. He shows compassion when I don't have the energy to do so. He is creative in turning every day things into teaching moments for our little girls. 
He adores them and they adore him.

As I did the dishes and watched him read to the girls before hurrying out the door to another meeting, my rather difficult day turned into a happy one, my heart was filled with happiness and love.

Thanks Doug, for choosing me!

Ahh. Those Doxey boys know how to treat their wives - they are all so good. Doug is great with all the girls but it will be fun to see him with boys in the future!!
