You're my Better Half
Car door slams, it's been a long day at work
I'm out on the freeway and I'm wondering if it's all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn't seem fair
I pull into the drive and you're standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight
It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
They say behind every man is a good woman
But I think that's a lie
'Cause when it comes to you I'd rather have you by my side
You don't know how much I count on you to help me
When I've given everything I got and I just feel like giving in
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and you hold me tight
Well, you take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and I understand
It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe that we can make it through anything
Oh baby, it's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
Oh, oh baby you're my better half
Ooh, hey baby you're my better half
I'm out on the freeway and I'm wondering if it's all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn't seem fair
I pull into the drive and you're standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight
It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
They say behind every man is a good woman
But I think that's a lie
'Cause when it comes to you I'd rather have you by my side
You don't know how much I count on you to help me

Oh, oh baby you're my better half

I know I know, it's a lot of pictures of Htown and me! But, I had so much fun going through all of our pictures over the years as I put this together. It took forever but I loved looking back over our 6 years together, remembering funny things, missing friends we don't live by anymore, realizing things about our relationship and about us that I never noticed before...
- we really like BYU! (ok, I had noticed that already!) but it was so fun to see all our BYU pictures at different games over the years. I can't wait to take my kids and teach them all about Cougar football.
- we can be kinda silly sometimes. Houston is more than I am, but that's why I love him. He helps me be light hearted and fun. The majority of the silly pictures were of just him so they didn't make the blog cut!! But, they made me laugh as I was looking through all of them!
- we've done a lot of fun things together and been a lot of fun places
- we like to eat out a lot! (ok, I already knew that one too! but the pictures made it even more obvious) It's a wonder we don't weight 300 pounds.
- I had never sat down to think of how many times Forrest has taken our picture. But it's a lot! And every picture is awesome! From, our engagements, to our wedding, to every single Christmas card I've sent out, to our newborn pictures I'm posting up next! Forrest if you read this...thank you! I'm so grateful!
So, Houston, after 6 years together and 4 years of marriage, 1 dog, 1 house, and 1 baby later, I still love you. I love you more than I did the day I married you. I love you more today than I did yesterday. Sometimes you make me smile and sometimes you drive me crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm glad I picked you. I'm glad you picked me. Eternity will definitely be fun and entertaining with you by my side :) You're my biggest supporter, my biggest fan, my better half, and I love you more than anything!
