Day #2

My Husband (picture: one of our favorite past times, riding the Harley up thru the mountains of Colorado looking at the changing leaves)

D.J. is the single greatest thing that has ever happened to me. He is such a great husband, great friend, the one I truly lean on for everything. Today I'd like to take an extra special moment to say "Thank You" to D.J. I don't think I say that enough. I am truly grateful for all that he does for me. He is so supportive in everything I do and all that is important to me. We moved to Iowa so I could follow my dream job (that I have since left to care for our adorable children!) He encourages me when I'm afraid and is there to catch me when I fall. He is a hard worker & strives to learn and do his best everyday- don't ever let anyone take that away from you! Not only is he a great husband, but he is the greatest father! He was there by my side to do anything & everything I needed throughout the pregnancy: to give me shots, make me meals, help me get up & down from the couch, sit with me at the hospital, remind me that everything was going to be all right! Do all the housework, yard work, grocery shopping- everything while I was on bedrest and unable to do so much. I was thrilled to give him the greatest father's day gift ever- 3 babies!! Once they came home he has shared in everything, from midnight feeding to changing diapers, feedings, changing diapers, feedings, changing diapers- feels like that is all we do some days! He'll stay home with the kids in the evenings so I can go scrapbook & sit and talk with my friends. He is so great with the kids. I love to watch him with them, I love how they look at him. You know they say the first person a girl falls in love with is her father- my girls are so lucky!

Thank you D.J. for all that you do! I am grateful everyday for you!

I love you with all my heart & soul- Forever!
