Thankful for my man ~

Growing up, my parents always said:

"the friends you'll have for life will be the friends you make in college."

While they are right (and they did meet in college) -

I never EVER thought I'd marry one of my

good friends from high school.

I am so thankful that he chose me.

Some days, I still can't believe it!

I am thankful that we've grown together

and I've had the unique opportunity

to watch him be a son, brother, husband,

a great employee and an even better father.

I am thankful he laughs at my jokes,

he is my baseline when I get too emotional,

he encourages me to be me, supports us

financially and is an amazing leader of our family.

***Thank you, Lord for answering my prayers

with such a man of integrity.

I pray we continue to grow in your way

each day of our marriage. Amen***
