This is a song from our Spirits and Strings event over the weekend. Josh is 1/2 of JB Acoustic. They are available to book for private shows, private parties, and play at several venues a year around Southwest Iowa and southeast Nebraska. If you see them on a poster or need some music, don’t be afraid to reach out to their page! Also watch their page for upcoming shows.
I posted on my personal page and this is also what I said and worth repeating:
There are moments in life when you realize that love isn't supposed to feel like a battle. it isn't supposed to leave you questioning your worth, wondering where you stand, or feeling like you have to earn the bare minimum. And sometimes, you don't understand just how much you've been missing until someone comes along and shows you what love was always supposed to feel like. Josh has changed my life in ways I don't think I could ever fully put into words. He has shown me what it feels like to have a partner who is kind without being asked, honest even when the truth is uncomfortable, attentive to the little things, and genuinely caring about the person standing beside him. Someone who listens. Someone who notices. Someone who shows up. Someone who doesn't just say they love you, but makes you feel loved. With him, Ive learned that true love can be both soft and strong. It can be safe. It can be playful and passionate, beautiful but at its core, it should make you feel like you have finally found somewhere you can breathe. He has reminded me that partnership means carrying things together, celebrating each other's victories, holding each other through the hard days, and choosing each other over and over again. Maybe the most beautiful part is that I don't just love him for who he is today. I love the person he has been, the person he is becoming, and all the parts of his story that made him who he is. Attached is a little video clip of Josh singing at Sleeper Mortuary for an event over the weekend. If you listen closely, I think you can hear pieces of him in his voice. There is passion, pain he has lived through, growth that didn't come easily, strength that was earned, and there is so much love. The kind of love that doesn't need to announce itself because you can feel it. His voice tells a story and somehow, so does the man I fell in love with. This is love and I am incredibly grateful that life brought me to him. Thank you for celebrating my birthday babe, I love you so very much!
