Simply Jake

I just had to take this very moment I'm captured in to express my fluttering thoughts for Jake. I'll never understand how I became so fortunate to ever find Jake, never-the-less marry him. I'm not putting down anyone else's husband but.... I absolutely KNOW I married the greatest man in the world!!! I'm sure Marjorie Hinckley could have argued, but I feel extremely fortunate. I love how he captured my heart two years ago. I love how he speaks to me so gently because I'm a girl. I love how he stops dead in his tracks to hold me and tell me I'm his very best friend. I love how his icy blue eyes make me weak in the knees. I love how he works in his shop all afternoon to build me something he knows I'd love. I love how he looks when he's ready for church, or setting across the room in the temple, or even when he comes home from work. Dang, he's good looking! I love how he can share his strong testimony with a stranger. I love his dirty, calloused hands. (men's hands shouldn't be soft) I love how he looks into my eyes everyday, with such an expression of love and appreciation on his face. I love how he treats every woman so kindly, because he hopes someone else would show the same kindness to his own wife in a time of need. I love how devoted he is to everything he does. Scouts, school, work, service, it's always his very best. I know our sons will learn from their father, because he acquired all of this from his. I love my life and how Jake contributes to my everyday happiness. I challenge every reader to reflect on their own spouse, to remember how blessed we are. I'll have Jake for eternity, my dear companion.
