Missing my wife...

So I don't post things on here that often so when I do you know it really counts (plus Sarah does such and awesome job, that it usually doesn't necessitate me messing it up. Well this weekend I am off in St. George in 103 weather, with golf courses, pools, and every other entertaining hike and trail and stuff to keep me busy, and all I can think about is how lucky I am that Sarah choose me and how much I miss her! Let me just tell you how lucky I am.

Sarah...
-acts as a beacon in our family guiding us closer to Christ with her subtle and sweet reminders.
-glows with happiness, brightness, and cheerfulness lifting me up every time I see her.
-makes me laugh when I just feel like crying.
-wipes my tears (when I have them, which is not often - I am a man ah hmm fewww) and helps me push forward.
-teaches with power and strength our children in the ways of the Lord.
-exudes an unhumanily amount of patience for our children but most of all me.
-cleans our messes.
-wipes our noses.
-listens to us barf (really if you every hear me barf, which even David & Rebbecca in Michagan might when I am in Utah, you will know this takes a special woman).
-loves me despite me imperfections.
-is my best friend.
-is the love of my life.
-is the one I thank God for every time I pray.
REALLY I could keep going, but I don't want to embarrass her.

No I didn't do anything wrong, or make any purchases without her knowledge, or anything else, I just need her to know how much I deeply care for her. and it is midnight and she is 200 miles away, and I am just sad I can't just roll over give her a big hug (and smoochy) and tell her I love her.

So here it is...I love you! I can't wait to come home and be with you. See you tomorrow babe!

Ah, what a sweet husband. You're a lucky lady Sarah. Yes, it was scary with Kimber but she's just fine. Her normal cranky self. :) I love the "sayings" you post of your boys on the side. So classic.

So first thing I'm going to have James read this cute little post! I don't really know Paul, but I know he must be pretty wonderful to add something like that to your blog.

What a beautiful tribute to Sarah! You are both very fortunate to share your love the way you do. We are happy to have you in the family Paul. I totally understand the she makes you laugh when you feel like crying.(he-he)
