Well, this is my first blog......I don't know if anyone will ever read this. I guess it really doesn't matter much. For those of you who do read this, however, I would like you to know something about my husband. So, here goes.......
Keith and I met over the internet in January of 2003. We were both on a dating website, and after too-numerous-to-count failed relationships, I agreed to let my parents "pick" my date from the website. They picked Keith, and I will forever be in debt to them for doing so.
We corresponded via e-mail and phone for a month before we ever met face to face. He was so refreshing. After several months of dating, Keith decided to completely overhaul his career in order to provide more financial stability for me and my son. He went back to school (Vanderbilt University, no less) and moved us to Nashville, after our completely amazing wedding and honeymoon in March 2004.
After much hard work and studying, he was offered a prestigious position at the largest privately owned hospital in the country, located in downtown Nashville, TN. He's head of his department!
We now have four amazing and beautiful children. Corbin, is 8 years old, Cameron (our honeymoon souvenir) is 2, and Catherine and Carson will be 1 in just four weeks! Keith bought me a beautiful home in a town just south of Nashville and we're raising our children in what we feel to be paradise on earth.
Keith is such a caring and sensitive man. He's so selfless, thoughtful, and loving. It's a rare thing to find a man who would take on another man's child and raise that child as his own, but Keith has done just that. My sweet boy has even taken to calling Keith "Dad" now, and their bond is almost as if they were biologically related. My husband is well-known, greatly loved, and highly respected at work, in our neighborhood, community, and church.
We both had to travel a rocky road of failed and abusive realtionships, broken trust, betrayal, and numerous infidelities. After such treatment from the very people we had given our hearts to for safe-keeping, it was difficult to learn to trust and love again. Amazingly, despite the betrayal Keith experienced by one very close to him, he made it his priority to make sure that I felt loved, safe, and secure in our relationship at great risk to his own heart. He took a huge gamble, and I can only hope and pray he will always believe that gamble paid off.
I believed I would never again find love. Not only did I find love, I found a greater love than I've ever know from any man.
Years ago, there was a song on the charts that I now find poignant: "If she would have been faithful, If she would have been true. Then I would have been cheated, I'd have never known real love, I would have missed out on you..."
I love my husband. My life is wonderful. My children are beautiful. GOD IS GOOD!!! :-)
