Thoughts on a Helpmeet

Alana,

You are sexier, cooler, more confident, and amazing than you were in college.

[And you are even a better writer]


I chuckled at the skinny [but extremely attractive] soccer player I once was in college. [What an amazing surfer hair cut I had back then. I sorta want it back.] I too look back and think what would have been useful to know then, but I wouldn't change my journey with you for anything. We have grown together. We have expanded and multiplied our love and brought others into it. We have built a home and a life. We have hugged, cursed, traveled, fretted, rejoiced and clung. We have persevered. We have progressed and we have grown…

together.

I fell in love with the girl you were then.

I fall in love daily with the amazing woman you are now.



…did I mention sexier?

Parental Units

Parents are here! Have had a couple of great days. My wife is so awesome and capable at making them feel at home and I look forward to their entire stay. Dad and I are starting on a downstairs bath tomorrow. I am sure we won't destroy… much.
