Happy Mother's Day

In light of Mother's Day this weekend, I figured it was time to post a little something about the wizard behind the curtain that makes our family run. I thought the best way to do this was to list the Top 10 reasons Julie is the best mother and wife on the planet (just edging out our two moms). Without further introduction, here they are:

Top 10 Reasons Julie is the Best Mother and Wife on the Planet
1) She makes Caleb laugh even more than I do. She makes our family fun.
2) Her smile is contagious – one smile from Mommy makes Caleb light up like a Christmas tree.
3) She is willing to do the small, dirty, thankless tasks serving Caleb in ways that get no glory.
4) She faithfully prays for Caleb every day – mostly for his character to become more like Christ.
5) Every day I leave for work, she’s at the front door with Caleb waving bye. Every day I return from work, she has Caleb in her arms excitedly saying “Daddy’s home, Daddy’s home!!!”
6) She loves her full-time job as a stay at home Mom and works with joy every single day. You’d be hard pressed to find a more loving, patient, and gifted teacher than Julie.
7) She is a Hot Mom. Her external beauty is effortless and her internal beauty is even more amazing. Sorry Caleb that you’ll be embarrassed when your friends say your mom is hot and your dad is a dork.
8) Her character makes me want to be a better husband, father, and man of Christ.
9) She somehow finds time to be an amazing Mommy, an efficient manager of our house, a good friend to others, a leader of teenage girls, a great sister, a faithful daughter, and a supportive wife.
10) She trusts God’s sovereignty, works to become more like Jesus, and loves/supports/believes in me. There’s no greater gift she can give our family than these three things.

Thank you for marrying me and for being Caleb's Mommy.

Happy Mother’s Day Babe!

Love,
Your Blessed Husband
