This One's for the Boy

Ok ladies. Bear with me. I've been watching too much Jane Austen recently. And it got me thinking. *da da dunnnnnn*
We've all grown up wanting Mr. Darcy or Mr. Knightley. The tall, confident gentleman who truly cares for us. And many of us find out that he doesn't exist. But can I just say? He does. His name is Mr. Lawrie! Forgive me if I gush, but just give me a minute (or a paragraph) to brag a bit.

Mr. Lawrie is a real man. A man who is not afraid of my feminine outbursts (and ladies, it's crucial for our men to stand up to us!!!!). A man who loves me enough to tell me "No" (gasp!) I've known for a while now, and the feeling keeps growing- I hit the jackpot! I'm truly amazed when I look back and see what God brought to me in Mr. Lawrie. He challenges me to grow, teaches me about the Lord and how to serve Him. Mr. Lawrie is "proud" perhaps....but he's got the biggest heart of anyone I know. He strives to serve us first and foremost and gives us healthy boundaries that protect our family. As I think about all I have learned and continue to gather from his wisdom, I'm floored that by waiting God's best, I actually got it! :)

So maybe it's a bit syrup-y.
But he deserves it.
So maybe it's cliche.
But he's anything but cliche.

From the words of Austen herself: I think him everything that is worthy and amiable.
