MAN CRUSH MONDAY OR A Cowboy Valentine

I've meant for awhile to post about what Cowboy did for Valentine's Day and today is the day :)

Valentine's started like any normal day, we packed our Lil Buckaroo up into the truck and headed out to feed cattle.
We stopped after finishing feeding the herd and Cowboy looked them over while I fed and changed Lil Buckaroo and then Cowboy handed me a daisy with the words "there's a poem that goes with it, I'll tell you later"

That night he presented me with this poem, that he'd written for me!
A Cowboy's Flower

I'm bringin ya this Fl'r its'a tokin of my Love,
It didn't come from a box er store,
 like you it'uz sent from above !

It came from the valley floor where its seed was planted there by GOD,
He planned fer me ta giv'it to ya, that'uz why He grew it here in my sod !!

They'z fellers that buy store bought thangs, but what I'm offerin cain't be bought'n sold,
They get their gals the chocolate deals and sometimes buy'm gold !!!

But I'm given ya my Love Forever, it'uz planted in my heart by GOD,
He planned fer me ta giv'it to ya that'uz why it grew here in this sod !!!!

So I'm offerin ya'a Fl'r that ain't usely bought'n sold,
But with GOD's continued Blessin I hope its worth more to you than all the gold !!!!!

Now I'm not usually a crier but this made me tear up!

Ladies, some people will try to tell you that "Manly Men" don't know how to be romantic. I'm here to tell you it isn't true!
My man is THE manliest man I know, works harder each day than anyone I know and yet he's so gentle with me and Lil Buckaroo and the animals he works with.
I guess he's a strong enough man that he doesn't have to "prove" his strength to everyone around him!

When I was growing up I often prayed for a man who was tough but tender, strong but gentle and that is exactly what GOD gave me!

I Am My Cowboy's Sweetheart!

I almost didn't post this. While I was writing I quit editing for public consumption and just let my heart spill onto the page. It became a love letter to my Cowboy.
I spent the last week trying to figure out if I should edit it (and what parts get cut?) Or write something completely different for a V-day post. But then I got thinking, when Cowboy and I were courting I said so many times how I wanted to shout from the rooftops how much I loved him! Well, here's my chance, I'm taking it!
Cowboy, I LOVE YOU!

I AM My Cowboy's Sweetheart
Ever hear the song I WANNA BE A COWBOY'S SWEETHEART? Its a song that I've loved since I first heard it and you know something? In a lot of ways it (and many other daydreams) has come true for me!

First off, I have my Cowboy!
I haven't learned to rope yet. I keep telling Cowboy that he has to teach me before Bubba learns to walk
I do ride, and Cowboy is teaching me to be a better rider (when we have time to play with the horses)
I've ridden through the plains of Saskatchewan, but I have yet to see a desert.
I love hearing the coyotes and watching the sunset, GOD is an amazing artist!
I AM My Cowboy's sweetheart and it's the life I love the best!

There's nothing like the feeling of flying on a horse's back! Camping out under the stars....
Mmm yeah definitely my kind of good time!

And yknow, there's more than the song lyrics. There's my dream of living on a ranch (check) raising my children (one so far) but most importantly having a GODly man as my husband.
Its hard to believe how many things that were on my "wishlist" that GOD supplied and surpassed!
I wanted a Christian first and foremost (check)
A man who was both strong and gentle (check)
A man who loved children (check)
A man who loved animals (and could he please be a Cowboy? (Surpassed!)
A man strong enough to be the leader of our home, while still allowing me to be his partner (check)
Boy it'd be nice if he played guitar... (wish fulfilled!)
...and maybe sing? (Yup!)
YOU wouldn't let him be tall and good looking ...would you? (Yes again!)

I LOVE YOU COWBOY!!!
