To the Most Incredible Man In the World ...


Hands


Strong and steady.

You are a true man of God.


Shook my hand and held my heart from that moment on.

It was love at first sight.


Cupping my face for a kiss.

My heart still skips a beat.


Wipe away tears.

Your tenderness reassures.


Write words that leave me speechless.

How can I ever express how deeply I love you?


Three-pointers.

My basketball stud.


Hold our beautiful children.

They could not love you more.


Pray.

You are shaping generations to come through your faith.


Scoop up sleeping babies to put into bed.

They know they are safe in your arms.


Wrestle with your son.

You give him your time, and that gives him the world.


Hold me tightly. Never let go.

before and after

david and i (or at least i) had believed that we could certainly get our yard completed in a weekend ... we've been working on it as often as we could during our first year here. last weekend, however, church family surprised us with news that they were going to give us a fully landscaped yard ... and it was quite an undertaking! dozens of very hard workers and many hours later, we have a yard more beautiful than i could have ever imagined!

we are continually reminded of God's love through the kindness and support of our church family, and are so thankful ... each and every day and we are so blessed!
