Woke up this morning. . .

I woke up this morning and couldn't wait to be a husband. It is usually difficult for me to wake up and get going. Not today - I got right up, brushed my teeth, took out the trash, and made breakfast and lunch for myself and my wife. While doing these tasks, I looked down at my ring and felt an overwhelming sense of pride, happiness, and a responsibility to be the best husband I could possibly be.

I woke up excited, and invigorated by life, beaming at the prospect of making my wife happy. I got up out of bed, a new man - I've never felt like this before.

And then, I had an unprecedented epiphany. . . I felt the compelling urge to pray.

I went into the room, got on my knees, woke up Carollette and gave thanks to Life for giving me such a beautiful, intelligent, PERFECT wife! I was almost at the verge of tears as I felt this amazing spiritual connection with my wife which I had never felt before with anyone.

This is what I want my marriage to always feel like. I just had to document this time, in case I need to come back for a reminder at some point. . .

Growing more in love every day.
