Let me introduce you to...



...someone I admire so much!






Someone who is compassionate and kind and makes me a better person!



Someone I love.



Someone who loves me, adores me, forgives me and is so gracious and patient when I mess up. Someone who holds me when I'm sad, laughs at my corny jokes, wants the best for me and helps me make goals and cheers me from the sidelines.




His passion for God spills over in his life each day. He desires to be like Jesus, not only when it suits but each moment he breathes. When others have been treated unfairly, he is a peacemaker. He gives those that hurt him: grace, the benefit of the doubt and truly believes in the best intentions are each person, and realizes that everyone has an off-day. He is always willing to forgive and hold out an olive branch...
I see Jesus in Him.



I love him and I respect him. Someone who is wise beyond his years. Not only is he smart, he knows how to handle stress. He does not bring his job home with him even when there are so many unknowns and hard decisions being made.




He sees the importance of being physically fit. He loves to run and be active as a family. We are all learning how to play tennis right now. He makes positive choices and chooses to be healthy and in doing so, we follow the leader willingly.



He is so gentle and loving to our children. My children have been blessed with a caring, supportive father that encourages them. I see many examples of my Heavenly Father as he parents our children.




And I feel so blessed that God has brought us together...to meet, fall in love and marry. And now, we have the honour to raise our children for His glory, and to spend the rest of our lives together.

I'm leaving this on a random post of yours.. I hope that's okay.

Yeah, Abby goes to Kindergarten all day along with the older kids. School starts at 7:30, but the bus comes at 6:45 ish. She has been pretty tired, but we're just tweeking our schedule. They went to bed at 7:00 today since they are up by 5:45.

The good thing is they are home by 2:00.

Oh, and we ARE moving back to TN, but I haven't officially announced it on my blog till I know the official dates. We're waiting for hubby's boss to let us know.

What a great tribute to your hubby! It's obvious how much he means to you and how well you work together. Your kids are so lucky to have the both of you as parents teaching them the amazing love of Jesus.
