my other half

Simon Thomas Martin

He is the one thing in my life that I can always count on and I know he loves me soooo much.

Sure we had a shotgun wedding soon after I found out I was pregnant with Karson, but it was romantic and beautiful! He completes me and he has given me 3 beautiful babies. I could not ask for a better man to be their father. Watching him with Grayson is like watching a fairytale unfold. I never have to doubt his love for our family because it is always shown. He is without a doubt my hero, and my rock! God could not have picked a better man to be my partner through this journey.

He is in the U.S. Airforce and has sacrificed SO MUCH to make sure we are taken care of. It's a tough job that he does but he does it so courageously! He is the strongest man I know. He holds himself together so well which works out perfect for me because I am usually a mess, but he is the glue that holds me together. He has stood by my side through every bad thing that has come our way, which makes me have 150% faith in our marriage! He has seen me at my weakest and continued to love me, and has seen me at my best and loved me even more. We have gone through more in our three years of marriage than most couples ever go through! He never judges me, he keeps me in check and makes sure I always have my feet planted firmly in the ground. He makes me a better person and makes me want to continue to strive to be better! He knows me better than anyone in this world, and I could not imagine living one day of the rest of my life without him as my man! The best gift he ever gave me was his last name and I wear it proudly! He makes sure that I am taken care of and he rarely makes me do without... Yes, he spoils me BIGTIME!

Do we fight? Yes!

But it makes us stronger.

Do we have bad moments? Yes!

We are human and the bad times make us appreciate the good times.

Does he have bad qualities? Yes!

But his good qualities make it hard to see them most of the time.

Do I have bad qualities? Yes!

But he makes sure he tells me that he loves EVERYTHING about me, the good and the bad.

I am not trying to make Simon out to be some superhuman husband who does no wrong and is completely perfect... but he is COMPLETELY PERFECT FOR ME! I love every part of our marriage; the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful! He is my heart, he is the better part of me, and he is my soul mate. I thank God for sending him to me everyday. He makes me look forward to spending the rest of my life with him and ONLY him!

"and so they lived, happily ever after"
