Today is our five year anniversary. I cannot believe that we have been married for 5 years. It seems like two or three. They have been the best five years of my life. I have grown so much because of John. He encourages me to be a better person and pushes me to pursue my walk with God. He loves the Lord and that shows through everything he does. He has taught me discipline, self control, patience, and gentleness. He has never really raised his voice to me. I have only heard him cuss two times in the last 8 years (and it was almost warrented because i was being a huge brat). He doesnt ever say anything bad about anyone. He works hard at whatever he is doing. He is rational. He loves others, and tries to live his life to glorify God at all times. I hit the jackpot five years ago. I know he's not perfect, but he is pretty close. His desire to serve the Lord makes him who he is. I cannot imagine being married to anyone else. I hope I get to spend the rest of my life with him.
Over the last week he has taken care of me so well. When I was up at the hospital, he brought me anything I needed and refused to sleep at home. He planned on staying every night at the hospital with me until I had Jack. He never complained and was always positive about the situation. Now that I am home, he watches me like a hawk. He doesnt want me to overdo it and hurt myself or Jack. Every time I stand up he asks me where I am going and what I am doing. Although it is driving me crazy, I greatly appreciate how much he cares.
We were laughing last night as we remembered our promise to eachother. We promised that we wouldn't have our first child until we had been married for at least 5 years. We made it!! Only by about a week, but we made it! I am thrilled that our son will most likely look like him and I pray that he will take after him.
I feel like John really lives out "husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church" He loves me well. I hope that I can submit to him and love him as he deserves to be loved. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have married this amazing man.
Thank you John Herrington for making me your wife five years ago. It is the greatest thing I have ever done!

It makes me so happy to know that you are blessed with a husband who loves the Lord and you so much. It is something I can't say about a number of my friends, and that breaks my heart.
You and I snagged (or were snagged by) some good ones and should be grateful for that everyday. Simply to have a man who loves the Lord is a HUGE HUGE HUGE gift. Everything else, even on the rough days, pales in comparison.
Happy 5 Years to you and John!!
