This is my husband, Dan....
Dan is one of those men that come from a generation past..What I mean is, although he is a young man, his values are the kind that you don't find present in men of this generation anymore.
Dan believes in opening doors, holding a lady's hand as she steps out of a car, helping her with her coat, or standing when she leaves or arrives at a table....a little too romantic and in the clouds for you..? How about a little more reality....
He Also believes..
Lets, help Mom, by unloading all the groceries, somebody unload the dishwasher, while Mom is starting dinner, each of you straighten up a little, so we can all relax this evening and play a game.....the list goes on...yes, he is pretty amazing...
I used to agree with all the incredibly smart people who wrote books and articles on Marriage when I would hear them say " Marriage is an Institution". I agreed wholeheartedly.. marriage was an institution, for the criminally insane ! I grew up only seeing a handful of the "perfect" marriages and frankly didn't want any part of it......and then I met Dan.....
He was the one
..Dan had ambition, he knew where he was going and where he wanted to end up, and I wanted to be with him when he got there. He was a very respectful person. And...I must say quite easy to look at.....lol
We had a whirlwind romance...we had our first date on Feb 8, 1991 and were married May 31, 1991...Yes friends, you added that correctly, we met, dated, and married all in three short months..... We have been married 19 years this May.....
Although, the critics didn't think we would make it , and we had only the support of a small group of family and friends, We have had a truly blessed life... I am not saying we haven't had our ups and downs...believe me, that is a whole other blog....lol, but God has always provided the Grace to handle every trial and untimely adventure life has thrown us, and those times are what have made us who we are today....I wouldn't change much.....
So, you can see how blessed I am to be Mrs Dan Godwin. He is a great Dad, my Best Friend, The Love of my Life, and he's not only a Hero in real life......HE'S THE HERO OF MY HEART .......
