My wife rocks!

" Her children arise and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
Many women do noble things,
But you surpass them all." Pr. 31:28-29

That's my girl! Friday, August 17th, 2001 I caught her and tied her down with a little gold ring. Saturday, August 18th,2001 we arrived at the B&B in the picture above. Today we celebrated Garrett's 5th birthday. Tomorrow we celebrate our 6th anniversary. Am I glad? Yup. I suuuure am.

I told her one of the reasons I wanted to marry her was because she made me "better than I was, more than I am". Yes, it's a line from a Tim McGraw song but it's really true. She makes me grow. She's helped me grow in my career, helped me be a better dad, helped me see what God's love and strength can really do. When I wasn't worthy of being followed, she stepped up and said, no, make that SHOWED that God said her role was to submit and love me. Yes, we talked about it and always have known that's what God said but to see her really do it. Awesome.

My wife is smart (how many people ACE college physics????), she's funny (especially when she's not trying to be!), she is an awesome mom (gave up her job so she could stay home with our boys), she's a cutie (I love that smile!), she's MY girl!

I LOVE YOU GRACIE!

P.S....and could we be bigger losers? The boys had a great time at the birthday party last night. As I was fighting with my computer to upload pictures for our adoption book, I walked into the living room and saw they left Garrett's bd present sitting on the coffee table. I'm so sorry!!!
