Valentines Day and a Whole Lotta Catching Up

WOW it has been almost two years since I have posted. I started listing everything I was thankful for and never finished; what a disappointment. I could never run out of things to be thankful for; so I hope you don't think I was finished. School has been great, but working full time and going to school full time makes my time limited; so instead of writing my gratitude hopefully I have been sharing it with my family who rarely sees me. I have to write a few things about those that mean the most to me; first of all I have the greatest children a parent could hope for... Zachary, Ryeleigh, Rebekah, Christopher, and Porter... Soon to be one more. I love my children and hope they know that even though their dad rarely sees them or spends time with them that I love them very much and love being around them and the joy they bring. What a blessing it is to have wonderful children who are healthy, happy, and full of energy. This brings me to one of the most amazing people I know and have the pleasure of being a part of her life... My cute, witty, loving, endearing, charming, smart, funny, crafty, talented, beautiful, and pregnant wife. I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful blessing as she has been to my life, but everyday I thank my Heavenly Father for sending me this wonderful angel. She is my strongest supporter, my most loyal soldier, my comforter, my conscience, my reality check, my best influence, my pick me up when I get down, and my best friend. I know she loves me because I was poor when we met and I am still poor today, but that doesn't change how she serves, treats, and talks with me. She is the love of my life, the one person who completes me, and the energy I need to keep going. I don't know where I would be without her, nor do I wish to imagine. She is selfless, sacrificing, ever giving, and the greatest companion a person could have. I wish her a happy Valentines day and all the love of my heart. She truly is my inspiration to succeed.
