Well, it's said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case, I just can't resist the temptation to pair this pic with a little story....
Today when I got home from class, Christian greeted me with a hug, shortly after a failed attempt to scare me. While stooping to hug me, my huge husband looked around him and suddenly died laughing. This is not an abnormal occurance for Christian, and I, of course, started laughing too, although I had no idea why. He then proceeded to squeeze my shoulders, while hunched over, eyes level with mine and say, "You are such a little person! Is this what it's like to be short?!" I just laughed and then watched him walk around our entire house, hunkered over to match my height, laughing and saying, "You can't see anything! You are so little!" Now those of you who know me, know that I'm not "little." I'm simply a 5' 5" average height gal. However, I guess when you're 6'4", just about anything is little to you. I love being married to this man. He finds joy in the simplest of things because he has a heart that is as big as he is. I love the fact that at any given moment, something will strike Christian as funny, and he will be doubled over in stiches. It's almost impossible not to be happy when you're around him; being the fatalist that I tend to be at times, I can see exactly why it is that God paired me with this man. He has made me a better, more joyous person. Thank you Lord for being involved in my life; without You, I would have never know Christian.....or how funny being 5'5" is.
