to the world you are kelly (middle name).
to telemarketers you are john (first name).
to yours truly, and yours alone, you are johnny.
you are my man. my leader. my lover. forever.
the day i became yours, 5 1/2 years ago, was the best ever.
i'm blessed indeed. the Lord was ever so gracious in gifting me with you.
watching you comfort me when my hormones have gone haywire as i cry bloody murder over a dirty toothbrush holder at midnight reaffirms the blessing of you.
and knowing that my kids get to be your kids... wow, that is just amazingly delicious chocolate fudge icing on my double quadruple decker dark chocolate cake.
can this really be my life? pinch me.
oh wait, that sweet lil' baby kick just reminded me that, yes, it's really true.

Carissa,
I LOVE your blog. I have been reading it for a while, but have never really commented, so I guess you can say I am a lurker coming out of hiding or something, lol. I love your wedding dress! It is strapless and still modest. I am 14 and even though I am still young, I really want a strapless wedding gown for when I get married. :)
I am following your blog. I would love if you stopped by my blog and followed me. I am following you.
Blessings,
Maggie

What a beautiful post, I LOVE that picture!
P.S. your title made me think of "Dear John" the movie...which I thought was boring and wouldn't recommend!
Cute cute cute! This has inspired me to write my hubby a little note today for all that he is for me. It feels like he has gone overboard in his love for me these past couple weeks. Thank you for sharing your heart Carissa:)
This was such a sweet shoutout to your hubby. I LOVE IT! And what a beautiful picture too.
xx Love & Aloha
This was precious... I love to see how God pours down love into a marriage. It's that cord of three ~ when relationships are centered in Christ we see the goodness of God all over it. Ohhhh, and we see the goodness of Chocolate cake (loved that comparison).
Fun post! You are BLESSED!!!
Laurel :)
Carissa,
This made me laugh and smile. God is faithful. What a wonderful post!

:)
