The girl of my dreams

16 years ago today my darling and I made the commitment to one another that we would share the good times and bad, the ups and downs and walk hand in hand down this path called life.

This has been the most wonderful experience and I can't imagine having it with anyone else. I thought I loved you when we married, but every day our love grows stronger. Our life has not been without trials but working through those with you has strengthened my love for you and your quiet strengths.

You have helped me to be the best I can be, I would not be the man I am today if it weren't for you. Thank you for seeing in me the person that I could be and encouraging me to get there.

You are the most amazing mom, I have had and known many good "mother" examples and you eclipse them all. You are so giving and understanding yet you are not a pushover, your kids respect you (an amazing feat in this day and age) and will obey even into their teenage years. You have the coolest relationship with the boys, to get them to talk to you about their experiences and seek your advice is nothing short of awesome!! You're the best mommy example to the girls and they will be the next great mothers because of the foundation you've given them.

You are the best friend anyone could ever ask for, I can't imagine having the conversations we have with anyone else, I've never opened up to anyone before nor wanted to know someone as much as I have with you. You are the ultimate BFF. When you ask me why I don't seek out friends I believe that you are the most complete friend I could have and why would I need more.

You have had your fair share of trials and to overcome them to be the person you are truly describes your divine worth. You are my Queen and I love you with all my heart.

Love you always and forever shop girl.
