dear doug, (008) + letters to my husband link-up.

dear doug,

i really love watching you eat. weird. yup. going out to eat with you is on the top 5 favorite things to do with you. 

thanks for letting me pick the restaurant even if i did say for you to pick. (ha! ;) i love you)

our one year anniversary has come and gone and we are now officially on year TWO. (whoop! whoop!) year one was even better than i could have ever imagined. you always treat me like a queen and always know how to boost my spirits. i pray i can always be the wife you need. i can't wait to see what the next years bring with you by my side.

i love to hear your dreams and what you want to accomplish in the coming years. you're such a hard worker and you will achieve! God has big plans for you.

thank you for always listening and hearing what i have to say. you always have a listening ear and know what to say to calm me. whenever i'm having a bad day, you are always there to cheer me. knowing that you would stay home from work to be with me just because i'm not having the best of days means a lot to me. (but, thank you for always going to work ;p) 

you're the best partner in life anyone could ever have. i love you.

hello everyone! welcome to the eighth week of the letters to my husband link-up.

every other friday, you will be given the opportunity to show your hubby how much you love and appreciate him.

being a new wife, there are many times i don't give my husband the praise that he needs or deserves. this is an opportunity for me to work to be a better encourager and supporter to my husband.

not only will we be able to praise our husbands, but we as wives will be able to read other wives' posts and learn from them. we receive encouragement from reading each other's posts! :)

so let's get started.



here are the rules:

-follow your host and the co-host (if there is one for the month)

-visit and comment on other blogs--don't just share your link and run! be an encourager. :) share the love.

-in your blog post, either share the Letters to My Husband button or link back to this post on your blog.

-have fun and don't forget to spread the word using #LettersToMyHusbandLinkUp.

An InLinkz Link-up

dear doug, (007) + letters to my husband link-up.

tractor racing with hubby and a brother.

dear doug,

who-hoo! ONE YEAR. tomorrow will mark one year of being your WIFE.

this past year has been filled with all kinds of happiness and adventures. you're always, in a way, taking me on an adventure. and you know what? i would not want to be doing this adventure called LIFE without anybody except you. i love you.

i cannot wait to go to Patti's and pig out on gigantic pork chops with you. i am totally-way more excited about that than diving into our year-old wedding cake topper. (although i am pretty pumped about tasting cake--no matter how freezer burned it is. ha!)

picking out pumpkins for the first time together will be SUUUPER fun and i can't wait to see your taste in pumpkin-picking. ;) will it be a tall one? short one? fat one? small one? i'm sure it will be the perfect one.

cannot wait to see what year two will bring! you're awesome.

i love you,

your babe.

(stay tuned to IG @mrs_marlimcbride for pics throughout the day)

An InLinkz Link-up

dear doug, (006) + letters to my husband link-up.

dear doug,

i am so thankful to be doing life with you.

sometimes, i pinch myself to make sure this is real. you are so good to me.

the other night when i fell asleep on the couch and you went and took all the pillows off the bed (which is A LOT ;) and turned our oil diffuser light on before coming to get me to come to bed, that was another one of those moments i fell deeper in love with you. you're so sweet to me.

i admire your diligence on checking on better job opportunities to better our future. i love your want to achieve even more than you have already. i pray everyday that i'm the supportive wife you need to help you conquer. we can do this! 

i will miss you big time this week as i visit family. just be ready for me when i come home.

i love you soooooooo much!

An InLinkz Link-up

dear doug, (005) + letters to my husband link-up.

dear doug,

where do i even begin to tell you how much i appreciate you? sometimes, i just have "one of those days" and you are always there to hear me vent and let me cry. sometimes, i regret the things i say, but you just forgive and love me even more. how did i ever get blessed enough to get you as a husband?

thank you for always reminding me of the important things. keep reminding me--i forget a lot. keep reminding me that God is in control and that things will work out in His perfect timing--no matter how hard that answer is to hear sometimes.


thank you for leading us and deciding Bible time will happen at 9 every night. those are now some of my most treasured moments with you. you're a great leader.


thank you for all the hardworking hours you put in to provide for us. you come home dirty and sweaty and tired and don't even complain. you're superman.


cannot wait to watch some alabama football with you this weekend.


i love you so much.

dear doug, (004) + letters to my husband link-up.

dear doug,

i just love youuuuuu.


wasn't this past week fun? mom, sis and nephew were visiting and we had all kinds of fun. even though you came home from work tired, you still hung out and visited. thank you for working so hard for us. having you joining in on the fun was such a joy. having family in our home just makes me happy.

you playing with our nephew was THE cutest and my heart is still fluttering. he loves you. the way you paid attention to his needs and took the time to fulfill them was very admirable. you are going to make an incredible daddy.

thank you for all the help you offered this weekend as we had company. you are the greatest help--even if i do sometimes get huffy thinking i need the kitchen to myself (i'm really saying: "i want you in here." ;) you even see things that need to be done and do them before i'm even aware that they need doing (confusing? sorry. ;/). you're just amazing like that.


thank you for coming to rescue me when i locked myself out of the house. that makes it what, the third time? i really do it just so i can see you again (mwah!). :)


i'm looking forward to being at the football field with you and waylon this weekend.

you're incredible.

i love you.

the end.

hello everyone! welcome to the fourth week of the letters to my husband link-up.

every other friday, you will be given the opportunity to show your hubby how much you love and appreciate him.



being a new wife, there are many times i don't give my husband the praise that he needs or deserves. this is an opportunity for me to work to be a better encourager and supporter to my husband.

not only will we be able to praise our husbands, but we as wives will be able to read other wives' posts and learn from them. we receive encouragement from reading each other's posts! :)

so let's get started.




here are the rules:

-follow your host and the co-host (if there is one for the month)

-visit and comment on other blogs--don't just share your link and run! be an encourager. :) share the love.

-in your blog post, either share the Letters to My Husband button or link back to this post on your blog.

-have fun and don't forget to spread the word using #LettersToMyHusbandLinkUp.

dear doug, (003) + letters to my husband link-up.

dear doug,

i am so grateful for the opportunity to always tell you "i love you."

sometimes, i feel i don't tell you those words enough. i will always love you.

all the time, i'm thinking of how blessed i am to have you to spend life with. you're constantly there for me and are always looking out for my best interest. you are truly the best.


this week, i am especially grateful for your diligence.

after a hard, long day at work, you are still willing to go out to help others cut their grass. you never leave a job undone and work your hardest at it until it's done right. i love that about you.

i love your drive to find even greater opportunities to provide for us--your family. keep trusting God and your diligence and hard work will pay off. you're amazing.


i love you the morest!


weekend, watch out, the mcbride's are coming for ya!

dear doug, (002) + letters to my husband link-up.

picture taken when i was visiting family for a week and hubby had to stay behind to work. i missed him lots!

babe,

thank you for always giving me what i need.

whether it's a trip to books-a-million to just hang out and read books, a walk in the park, a popsicle, or a tickle in the side of the tummy, you never fail to know what i need.

everyday, i am gratefully overwhelmed with the thought that God saw fit for you to be my husband. the 22 years of waiting for you were totally worth it! sometimes, i have to pinch myself to know this is really life--i really do have you for the rest of my life. that makes me giddy.


thank you for being my protector.

the other night, when it was storming, you were so concerned about my safety and was offering comforting words. you're so cute. i always feel safe with you.


you're constantly doing for me. the other night at church, you made me feel like a queen when you came and picked me up at the door so that i wouldn't have to walk in the pouring rain. little things like that make my heart skip a beat and make me fall even more in love with you.

remember that night when we walked in the door late one evening? we were both hungry, we hadn't eaten supper yet, and the sheets weren't back on the bed from being washed that day. we were exhausted from the days activities; but, your amazing self offered to fix supper so that i could put the sheets on the bed.
your tacos were amazing that night.


looking forward to spending my whole life with you. love you more (i won ;).

dear doug, (001) + letters to my husband link-up

dear doug,

happy 9-month anniversary to you and me today.

how can i even express the love i have for you? you're an incredible husband.

everytime i watch you conquer the task at hand, it makes me want to shout at the top of a mountain: "THAT'S MY HUSBAND!"


watching you play with carly makes me look forward to, even more, having our own children one day. i cannot wait to see the kind of father you will be. i know you will be the best.


i love how you know how important quality time is to me and to you--for our relationship.
i love how you love me sitting on the golf cart watching you work on a project. not even if we talk very much, my presence is wanted. (i do enjoy learning all the different parts of a ac unit though)
that makes me happy.
i love our times riding on the lawnmower together. i mean, how many women get to ride on the lawnmower with their husbands? ;) watching you mow the lawn gives me an even greater love for you. there's just something about you on a lawnmower (all the heart eyes).


i love having pizza parties with you. the last-minute decision to order pizza last night was another thing to add to my list of "favorite things i've done with you". thanks for letting me have the last piece of pizza. thin crust pizza now trumps thick crust pizza in my book.


even though i've thanked you before, i'll thank you again. THANK YOU for providing for us and working so diligently. everyday, i thank the Lord for blessing me with a man who has an amazing work ethic and who knows how to fix a HUUUGE assortment of things.


thank you for being my handyman, prayer partner, and lover.


you're amazing. i love you, babe.
