Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!

50 years ago today, a very special woman gave birth to a very special baby boy. While I will have to wait until I walk with my Savior to personally thank her, if she were here, these are the things I would tell her:

• The son she brought into this world is a man who loves God, his family and his friends passionately and deeply



• He has a wonderful sense of humor and never fails to make me laugh when things are difficult



• He is the most generous man I know with his possessions, his time and his money



• The not so little baby she gave birth to on February 28, 1958 has grown into a man with an awesome work ethic, integrity unparalleled and who is a wonderful provider for his family



• He is loyal, smart and compassionate



• He loves me in a way that defies logic-in my worst moment, he loves me as Jesus does - unconditionally and with his whole heart

These past fifty years have crafted Doug into the man that God has created him to be - and I am so thankful that he now chooses to share the next fifty years with me!

The beginning of a Milestone

In a few days, my wonderful husband will reach a milestone and celebrate his 50th birthday. We spent time on Friday night celebrating with our friends in San Diego - people who have been with us since our wedding. They are very dear friends and we are so blessed to have them in our life.

Thanks to Don & Stephanie, David & Susan, Jon & CarolAnn and Brenda & Jerry. We love you guys and our lives are richer for having you in them.

Matt's Birthday

It was a racer's delight last Sunday when we celebrated Matt's 14th (yikes!!!) birthday! We took Matt and six of his friends to the local kart racing track. A good time was had by all - and let's just say Matt might want to stick to music as a career option!

My Special Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day! These were my very special surprise from my very lovely husband - whom blesses me every single day!

Super Superbowl!

Matt & Doug had the most awesome opportunity over the weekend to attend the Super Bowl in Phonenix! They were guests of Coors, and their day began at the NFL Official Tailgate Party. Here's Matt, with Willie Nelson & Sarah Evans on the big stage in the background (take our word for it!)

These pictures were taken from their seats - they had a great view down the Patriots sideline; Doug was pretty convienced that Brady was throwing right to him a couple of times

Game On!!

Matt's favorite part of the day - the halftime show with Tom Petty! It was a pretty amazing show; the highlight for Doug was the real life rockets and the tie die light show in the center of the field to "Free Falling".

The best part of the entire day was Doug & Matt getting to spend the day together having a once in a lifetime experience!
