Today Sherri and I celebrate 14 years of marriage!

I continue to be impressed with my bride.

• She is a strong leader with the gift of wisdom.

• She is patient and persistent. You’d be amazed at how she manages a house with six kids!

• She is “low maintenance.” Never whining or complaining she always finds a way to make things work even when there are not always a lot of resources to work with.

• She is generous. I have to insist that she use her “slush fund”  for herself or else she will spend it on someone else.

• Her integrity is rock solid. I never doubt her word.

• She is a learner, constantly evolving and always improving herself. I love that she is reading books on marriage and parenting! And I love that she knows what’s going on in the world because she listens to the news!

• She is confident in who she is and doesn’t need approval to be that person. She just is who she is… and that is refreshingly beautiful.

• She doesn’t “fight me”, in fact she even encourages me, when I want to take risks and try new things (e.g. a motorcycle). (Although my desire to jump out of an airplane is proving to be the exception to this rule).

• She still looks great! Six kids and fourteen years can be rough on a body. Not hers. I still look twice… every time.
