My favorite blessing


I felt like posting about how much I love Danny. I know everybody is posting all the things they are grateful for, and my list is pretty long--but sometimes a girl's just got to gush about her man :) Obviously The Savior is the biggest blessing in my life, because without Him and His sacrifice, I could never live forever with Danny--nor could I enjoy all the other blessings that my life is rich with. But right after Him comes Danny. I was thinking tonight about how we met, and the series of events that took place between the time that we met, and the time that we got married. Believe me, there was much to be orchestrated, and I'm sure that Heavenly Father was smiling as he watched things fall into place. Our lives haven't been easy (I don't believe that anyones lives have) and yet we find time to laugh together, and cry together, and pray together. Danny is a quiet guy--many of you might not know him as well as you'd like to. Let me tell you, I learned a LOT about the man after we started dating, and I am constantly amazed at how lucky I am. I am seriously getting a little bit choked up while typing this because I know how humble he is--and therefore how cute he'll be when reading this (and embarrased, heh). Danny is my perfect match. I always thought I'd end up with someone very outgoing, like myself...but I'm slowly learning that I really don't have a clue what I need. I just need to chill and let Heavenly Father take care of things. Danny has the most contagious laugh EVER. If you've ever heard him laugh, or ever watched a funny movie with him, you know what I mean. He laughs at ALL my jokes, and then builds on them--and we always end up laughing our guts out over the lamest little things. Danny loves Cole. He is so good with him, loves to play with and tickle Cole, and is always willing to help me out when he can sense that I'm overwhelmed. Danny is brilliant. No--really, he is so smart. He remembers every little fact he's ever heard/read, and should probably be on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". He is so good with computers, electronics, putting things together, building anything and he knows his scripture stories better than a lot of thirty year olds. Danny is a hard worker. He works hard, and puts a lot of pressure on himself to do well, and make the right decisions. Danny loves me. I remember a time in my life when I couldn't imagine anyone loving me as much as I would probably love them. I was so wrong. It took me a while to realize that Danny wasn't just the "boy next door"...but that he was more like "the guy I wanted to be with forever". He knew it before I did--and I'm so glad he didn't give up on me, and move on to someone else--which leads me to my next point: Danny is patient. Probably one of the most patient people I have ever encountered. Ever. He is so good about putting up with me and all my dorkiness. Last but not least by a long shot--Danny loves the Lord. He is faithful and is eager to do what's right. He makes it easy to want to be good, and has made me a far better person. So, for the record--I love you Danny.

What an awesome tribute to your husband! That's so adorable. I'm so glad that you are happy and that you've found someone so fitting for you! That's really hard to find these days and I think we both have it! We are some pretty lucky girls, huh?!

what a sweet post! Anyone married to you should be laughing all the time (and making you laugh!) I love that you build on each others jokes...
It's really incredible how we all end up with the right person-- that's a ton of orchestrating someone is in charge of! Anyway, it's great to hear how much you love your husby!

Yeah, I hate to break it to the rest of you guys out there but, I have the best wife in the world!

Danny is a great guy. I think I'd protect him with a crossbow and marinara sauce.
Danny said…
Amy... you already have. *sniff*
I love "I love my husband" moments. Glad you journaled it, and eloquently, I might add. I am so happy for you!

Seriously Rae, Danny is a keeper for SURE!!! Not only does he laugh at ALL your jokes...he laughs at mine too (and mine aren't usually funny ;) He is just the kind of guy that makes people feel good about themselves. That is a real gift!!!! Nice post.

Whoa, can't believe I almost missed this post. I'm really behind in my blog checking. Sweet post Rae. Danny IS a total keeper that's for sure. You two are a perfect match. I love that you both laugh at all my dumb jokes when we're together!
