Last night, we were driving home from Jonathan's parents house where we celebrated Father's Day. We were riding in the car--our new family of five--and were listening to the latest Train cd. There is a song on there that Jonathan and I both love called "Marry Me." It's so sweet!
As we were riding along, Jonathan says to me:
"Did you ever think all those years ago when I proposed to you on the front steps of Nelson Hall that you would be sitting here with me, in Tennessee, riding along in a minivan with three kids in the back seat?"
"Nope. I definitely wasn't thinking about that," I said.
"Is it better than you imagined?" he asked.
"Way better. Definitely even better."
Not only is my marriage even better than I could have imagined, not only is being a momma of three children even better (and crazier and more exhausting) than I could have imagined. But, I realize that the man that God gave me is WAY better than I could have ever imagined him to be. God has done amazing things in Jonathan's life since we first met, since we got engaged, and since we said I do. Being a father has challenged and transformed him even more. I am so blessed.
For your enjoyment, here are the words and a video of "Marry Me."
Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies
And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Marry me
