He's My Favorite Bag of Tricks

As I sit here on the eve of my 15th wedding anniversary, I am struck by the realization that the man I'm married to is truly one of a kind.

I know no one else who spends hours designing, carving and inking to make completely original prints on t-shirts and hoodies. My husband CREATED the following items!


Isn't that amazing?

What other 36 year old excitedly purchases a 15 year old BMX bike from a neighbor, declaring, "I've always wanted one of these!"? He happily and thoughtfully chose new grips and a new seat to replace the old cracked ones. (Good thing it wasn't a '67 Camaro that caught his eye in the neighbor's garage.)


Who else surprises his wife with a gorgeous brand new guitar by stuffing it into her gig bag so she'll find it the next time she goes to practice on her old ugly one?

Not only is he unique, fun and thoughtful...he's also dedicated and devoted.

Dedicated to our family, he rises before 5:00 am several days a week so he can go spend hours and hours at a job he genuinely dislikes.

Devoted to God, he seeks Him and His agenda on a daily basis.

I feel so safe with Jeff, both emotionally, mentally and physically. He listens to me, advises me, and I know he would do everything he could to protect me and the kids even if he knew he'd die in the process.

I love you, Jeff. Here's to another 50+ years of you and me.

Forgive me for looking smug. I'm simply pleased with my present situation...
