The Dream Team

My husband's a hard core Marine, both at work and at home.  If you have been following my posts, you would already know I lovingly call him a prick. =)  He's as tough as they get, both inside and out.  But right when I KNOW I have figured him out...he throws me a curve ball.

So this week I had a sneak peek into a possible college dream.  Not sure if that dream is meant to come true, but it was very exciting to live it even for a day.  But what touched me the most about the whole ordeal was my husband's attitude towards the whole thing.


I had to go into NYC for an interview earlier this week.  I remember wanting a job in the city as a college student, and somewhere along the years the desire was suppressed due to other opportunities. My husband is the only person in my life that constantly encourages me to dream big, live life to the fullest, and to be all that I can be (be who God intended for me to be). So just the idea of taking a train into the city dressed in a suit had its own appeal that words cannot express. Even though I know my husband to be a sweetheart deep deep down...the icing on the cake (let's say a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate icing) this eventful day really was my man's support.  He woke up early so he could drop me off at the train station before work. He even stopped me to pose for a picture before I walked out the door. All the way to the station he told me how great I was going to be and how beautiful I looked. I did not have any butterflies in my tummy going into the interview because I knew my man believed in me. When I thanked him for being such a wonderful husband, he looked at me and said "if I dont support your dreams, then who would? And how would we be the dream team if we dont follow our dreams" (or something along those lines....I am just relaying to you what I heard him say. Ha!)

I truly am very blessed.  Moments like that...the simplicity, the support, the sincerity, the honesty, and the love in my Marine is what I need to remind myself when we disagree with each other, or when he's not around.    My Boo-Boo loves me unconditionally and more!
I am pretty sure most family members are still not convinced we are meant to be.  If they were a fly in our home for even a second they would see that this crazy marine wife is living a beautiful life.  We truly are a dream team.

I took a chance on love by falling in love with a Marine that I met over the internet.  I stepped out in faith convinced that God was pulling us together even when our families were pulling us apart.  And today I know no matter what life throws at me, I will be good to go because I have my God leading the way and my Marine watching my back. =)

Our dream team consists of three. And together we make our every dream come true!
Do you have a dream team?
