On Sunday, I was in our Holiday Market booth when a woman came in and started exclaiming over Jeff’s artwork. Her jaw dropped, then began working again as it poured out compliments. I appreciated her kind words and I told her my husband, Jeff, was the artist. “Wow, you are so lucky to be married to someone who can do this….” she motioned around the booth.
Yes, I do feel so grateful that Jeff is sharing his beautiful, artistic gift with the world; but it barely scratches the surface of why I love him so much. He has the most loving, caring heart of anyone I have ever known and he just “gets” me without me even trying to explain. I feel completely free to be myself around him and all my insecurities and worries float away in his presence. Everything in my life is so much more fun when I’m doing it with him. Just driving 15 minutes away to run errands, I miss him like crazy the whole time and make a mental list of every tiny thing I want to tell him…but when I get home I just look in his eyes and then I don’t feel the need for so many words anymore. He has helped bring my Spirit out full force, when I used to hide it in the shadows, afraid of judgement. He is a bright, bright light in my life that brings me so much joy and laughter. I have learned so much from him and have learned so much by being with him, my gratitude runs deep for this. I’m also grateful for everything he does every day- everything he does around here and for working for hours and hours in his shop creating artwork so that we can make a living and live our dream life in the country.
This blog post is dedicated to him and his awesomeness.
I want to share some pictures of his art with you:
