It seems like yesterday

I can't believe it's been two months since we held you, Ethan. Mommy and Daddy had big dreams for you, but God's plans were bigger. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Always in our hearts baby boy!!!

Psalm 139:13-16

¹³ For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

¹⁶ your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Happy Birthday!!

Today is Bri's birthday, the big 2-8! In honor of his birthday, I wanted to share a few reasons why I am blessed to have him in my life.

He is a country boy. He loves the Lord and treats women with respect. He loves trucks and four wheelers, guns and fishing. I have received both a fishing pole and a 22 as gifts ;).

He is good at just about everything he does. From Chemistry to cars, he either understands how it works or he'll figure it out. He's the one many of our friends go to if they have questions about how to do 'handy man' type stuff. We had a lot of work to do on our house in Texas and he did almost all of it himself.

He values family. Bri loves my family like his own, and his relationship with my Daddy means so much to me. I'm so glad he can be at ease with them, it's like he's always been around.

He loves me, and tells me all the time how much I mean to him daily. He has gone out of his way to take care of me. When Bri is upset, he would rather close up and deal with it himself. I am the opposite, and he has tried hard to be there for me and talk when I need him.

Happy Birthday Brian! I am so proud to be your wife!
