Happy Valentine's Day Shauna

Shauna,

I want to dedicate one entire blog post to you.  I love you very much and want to memorialize in writing some of what I have enjoyed about our life together for the last 10 years.  Here are a few things I love about you.  There are lots more, but I only have so much time.  Enjoy, I love you.    

1.  You are great calming force in my life.  I can remember those law school days when it seemed like I would never make it through.  You talked me through it and here we are.  We did it even when you decided to get your masters as well!  


2.  You are a very loving, teaching, and nurturing mom and our kids could not ask for better--even though they do sometimes.  


3.  You are beautiful and have a seriously in shape body.  There is a lot to be said for this considering we aren't the spring chickens we used to be, not to mention three kids. (This deserves two photos).   




4.  You love a good party, especially one where you and your husband are the only ones wearing costumes.  


5.  You get three kids ready for church by yourself most Sunday mornings and get them to church...almost on time.  

6.  You love me even though I am "cheap" I mean "frugal."  You: "Honey, I think its about time we buy a new camera."  Me:  "Just draw a picture, it will uh, ummm..."   


7.  You have a strong testimony of the gospel and care that your family and friends know this.  


8.  You care about others and help out wherever and whenever you can.  


9.  You love your parents and it shows.


10.  You cook up some mean vittles and aren't too disappointed when our kids look at it like it just fell out of a horse's rear end.


11.  You can pack a day so tight with things to do that Houdini would most like die trying to free himself.  Even the kids have a hard time keeping up.   


12.  You love Joaquin, Elena, Ruby and me with everything you have.  


Happy Valentine's Day Honey!  Hope it is a good one.
