The one who inspires me to get out of myself . . . in things of love, life and dreaming . . . today we celebrate 27 years of being married!
It’s because of Scott that I am writing this blog today. I seem to have taken a little hiatus from blogging, allowing the other “things” of life, work and general busy-ness to squeeze out one of those things that I am passionate about . . . time to write, express and move into unknown territories not part of my routine schedule. Scott is my example of pursuing dreams, ideas and things “not the norm.” He’s my inspiration for pursuing ideas bigger than my current world.
So, today I spend a few extra minutes, not putting packages together to ship for Christmas, or one more load of laundry, or even an errand or two listed on my list . . . but because of him, I pause, reflect and use some black and white words.
It doesn’t seem possible that these 27 years belong to us already. After this much time, I still get excited when the caller ID on my phone shows he’s calling. The end of the day is still my favorite time knowing we spend it together. His witty thinking and off the cuff jokes and puns are still the funniest. The smile in his eye still catches me off guard sometimes.
Honestly, I think the anniversary card we received from our daughter today summarizes best.
“She looked at him.
He looked at her.
And everyone who saw that look
Wanted to throw up a little.”
Yes – sometimes, it’s just that sweet . Just that syrupy, mushy, amazing, wonderful . . . SWEET!
Because of Scott Allen, I continue to learn to love unselfishly. Next to Jesus, he’s my best example.
