An invitation to Dinner

Dustin entered a contest with 95.1 SHINE FM. The name of the contest was "Love at first sight, second date night". He invited me to dinner and I got a call from Tracy from the morning show and she told me Dustin had entered this contest and invited me to dinner. She then read me his invitation and told me that we were having a Private Chef come out to our house and fix us a meal. I am so proud to be married to my wonderful husband!

Here is his letter to me....

Lor,

You really need to know something that I literally say every day right after we pray. I want to take a moment to be loud and proud of the fact that I LOVE YOU!!!!

I love you deeply with my whole life. When I said "I do," I meant it. Not only did I, but I still DO!

Nine years have made everything so much more exciting and such an amazing journey. I mean, it's not just one thing you have done, but every single small thing that you do. It's the way you remember the little things in life, the way you look at our baby, the way you leave the door cracked, the way you call just to see how I am, the way you love our baby church plant, the way you care for others, the way you serve, the way you live, the way you give to anyone, the way you want to love on orphans, the way you smile at me when we are across a room. You know, my heart still jumps. Funny huh?

It's every little thing you do that reminds me the love I have for you! I see Jesus' love in you. I cannot imagine what my life would have been like without you. Every breath, every step, every move, every motion, you make it all magic. You amaze me in so many ways.

Lor, I do. I do again and again and again. I still remember the way my heart lept as I saw your face, the very face that Poppa had placed in my dreams. I could not believe you said I do. And yet it all started with a "Hey, I'm Dustin..." And then the rest was history.

I was supposed to write this letter to simply ask you out on a date, but I could not pass up the chance to sing your praises for just a moment. I mean, you need to know that I am your biggest fan. So, with that said, I want to once more say, my love for you today is greater than when we first met, than when we first dated, than when I asked you to marry me and I would never trade any of those moments for the world. I would never want to go back for anything in the world, but I just wondered if you would like to have a "first date," "first moment," kind of night. I mean, I think these days are my favorite so far, but I think it would be fun to take a night and go on a special romantic date remembering how it was.

I would. I love you so much. It's is so amazing to get the chance to live my every day with my best friend, partner in ministry and most of all, my one true love. I am so VERY BLESSED! I love seeing you every night and every morning. And I want to celebrate you for a night.

So, whatta ya say? You wanna go out or something?
