Coburn Kids

I’m so blessed to have such a great husband and just had to express that here on Valentine’s Day. I’ve never met a man who respects women more. Who will listen to my ideas, my rants, my questions, my passionate discussions… my voice. He encourages me, supports me and gives me the space I crave to grow and just be myself.  Through all the hard times I can rely on him as a friend and a companion to lean on and work together with. His perseverance is such an example.

I’ve never had someone who make me laugh as hard as he does, who makes me feel safe as much as he does, who makes me look forward to the future. I love our relationship, our quirks.  That we can argue and yell one moment then forgive and chuckle the next. That we can take any difficult situation and look at it honestly together, that we can make our decisions as a team. That we can never stay mad at each other and can go at most, 2 minutes, with giving each other the silent treatment. His fantastic ability to communicate and talk to me is one of the things that made me fall in love with him. We can talk for hours and never run out of things to say, we can tell each other’s thoughts at a glance. That even after all these years I want to hang out with him, I want to know more about him, I want to become closer to him.

I love that he loves being a father. That he adores his 2 little girls, that he cherishes his little boy. That he accepts life as it happens and that he knows the best laid plans for the future change, evolve and transform. That he loves to spend time with the kids, whether it’s homework, playing or taking them to the store.

I love that he’s always working and progressing himself, no matter what lay-offs we’ve been through he’s always had a couple of side projects. I love that he’s a dreamer and a romantic. That he loves football and writes poetry. That he’s so incredibly intelligent and brilliant at science and math and compassionate and sensitive.  He’s a contradiction and it fits him so well! I love the fact that we have this life together.

I LOVE YOU!
