Blessings

I constantly thank God for the many blessings he has poured into my life. Family, friendships, coffee, backpacking, and so on... But one blessing easily conquers all others and would reign champion in a fantasy blessing league year after year. And it's my wife Laura.

My little brother Paul is visiting me from out of town for a few days, and he said to me yesterday "I still can't believe your married." And I agreed with him. At that very moment I began to think of how lucky I am to have my wife as my best friend.

I love doing everything with her. Walking the dog, talking about our future kids, picking names for boys and girls, making goals, going to the library to pick out a movie, watching her sleep, and on and on...

When I think of my wife, I say God is awesome! What a creator! What a blessing she has been in my life.
