i love lindi

i never thought i'd ever get on this thing and write something, but i had some things on my mind i wanted to let everyone know. this is going to be hard because i have to try and explain some things that words just can't describe. i'm not sure if every guy feels this way, but i believe that i'm the luckiest, most blessed man out there to have the amazing wife that i do. i wish there was a way that i could let lindi know how much i love, appreciate, care, and admire her, but once again, just the words make it seem so hollow. i could tell lindi that i love her over and over again, and i know that she knows that i love her, and i know that actions speak louder than words, but i also know that there's always more that i could do to show my love for her, and this blog is one of the ways i wanted to express that love to her.
there has been one word that has been going through my mind over and over again when it comes to describing lindi. the word is "thoughtful". simple, but it means so much. the definition for thoughtful is, "taking thought for the comfort and the good of others. thoughtful implies providing little attentions, offering services, or in some way looking out for the comfort or welfare of others."
every time she goes out of her way to provide one of those "little attentions", or acts of service, i am often the beneficiary of the act, in which often times leaves me so grateful and so desirous to follow her example of love and charity. those acts of service are given everyday!
everyday i come home from work, she's up making breakfast for us. she's so kind and so warm and so patient with me. i often come home tired and grouchy because i've been up all night, but she still is kind and considerate and always asks how i'm feeling, and she always does all that she can to make me feel better. i'm not sure if she knows but just seeing her and being around her makes all the stress and garbage of that night at work, fade away and all i feel is love for her.
i couldn't have asked for a better eternal companion. just when i think that i can't possibly love her anymore, she does something, or i hear her laugh, or i see her smile, and feel her touch, and she makes me fall in love with her a little bit more.
i'm so grateful for a wife that loves other people so much. it seems like i kidnapped her from her family and friends back home and brought her to an enormous city where she knows no one! and she just got thrown right in the thick of things. but she is so strong, faithful, and friendly, and took the challenge head on. she's made friends in the ward, and has reached out and has felt love and compassion for the members of our ward here in las vegas, and she barely knows them. she's felt connections with certain people and has shown her charity to them in, once again, doing those little acts of service and has given little attentions, and has made an amazing impact already on the members of our little ward. it seems like i'm just along for the ride, and am always trying to keep up with her when it comes to doing good. it can easily be said of lindi that she follows the example of our Saviour in that she "goes about doing good."
i'm so grateful to her family in allowing me to have their precious daughter as my wife and eternal companion. i know that i have such a long way to go to become the man who is worthy of being with her, but i'm sure that they have all the confidence in the world about the beautiful, talented, faithful young lady that they raised to help me become that man. nobody else on this earth gives me more of a desire to become my best self than lindi. i want to become that man.
now i know that this isn't even a little bit of the things that i could say about her, and that it doesn't do justice the way that i feel about her, but i'm grateful for the opportunity to express my love and appreciation for my wife of almost 2 months.
