I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

I seriously love this guy...

I am so lucky to have such an awesome husband.
Everything he does is for his family.

I am so proud of all that he has accomplished.
In just another semester he will have finished his bachelors degree,
and will continue from there to get his masters.

He knows that being a teacher doesn't pay big.
But,...
He knows that it will allow him the time needed to be involved in his children's lives.
He knows that he will be able to spend all of the holidays and weekends with his loved ones.
He knows it means job security for his families future.

He is probably the most hard working person that I know.
If you need someone to get something done,
he's your man.

He's my man!

And for that, I am the luckiest girl in the world.
