...that there are just some things more important when you

STOP

and take a second to look...

Yesterday, after going through his fear and anxiety of getting a job for the first time ever in the States...wondering if he would be accepted let alone get the job...And my husband does! He's been hired to work at a family owned small company fast food restraunt known to TX as Whataburger.

Though he admitted he had always wanted to try to work there, it is his favorite hamburger joint, he was still worried about being excepted. But after sitting down with the manager and explaining his rules he'd be taking part of at the location, he not only felt like he belonged, but no longer was that gloomy cloud hanging over his head of worry about finances or earning any money.

Anyways, when I drove him up there for him to fill out some paper work with his new employer...I remember looking at him as he got his documents together in the car...I remembered the look on his face after he got the call about getting the job...what he said to me...

"I cannot begin to thank you for all you've done..." he said.

"What do you mean? You did this yourself hone!" I replied.

"No...*he takes my hand* if I never had met you...I...You saved my life Emy...I owe you everything..."

"I...I what?"

"You saved my life..."

Those words kept repeating back in my head... I remember when we first met and how he and I both were living day to day. Not "LIVING" like enjoy life living...just living day to day...without motivation or insperation. But when I fell in love with my husband...I got my insperation back... I was able to taste food again...draw again, write and talk and smile and sing...

For him though...he claims I saved his life...He said he had no motivation, no reason to go on...he just did. He never thought he'd have a good enough reason to get his life started...then he met me...And now we're a family...and now he knows he's got a responsibility to up hold, the same as I do.

That day I realized...how handsome and brave and...amazing my husband truely is...He's stepping out into an unknown world with a smile on his face and the sun on his back...ready to face the challenges of the work force with confidence and pride. All because he said I love and support him...just as he does to me.

I realize that day...made me appreciate who we are even more, as husband and wife.
