Mothers Day!


I know today is not Mothers Day and I intended sharing this with you then, but one thing led to another and, well...it's getting written now.

I want to tell everyone how lucky I am to be married to the most incredible person that I know. I am not sure what I did, or didn't do, to deserve such a wonderful person in my life, not even sure I want to know. I am just glad that we are together.

What an incredible mother and wife Debbie is. I am constantly amazed how calm and collective she is, almost all of the time. How encouraging she always is to myself and the kids. She completely takes care of us all of the time and we don't tell her nearly enough how much we appreciate her. She is the reason why our family works so well, even in times of complete and total chaos.

Before I came home on my mission I knew the next step in my life was school and, hopefully, marriage. I asked my mission president before I left how I would know who the woman I was suppose to marry and how I would know for sure. He told me, if the woman you are dating walks in the room and she takes your breath away and makes you smile each and every time then you will know that she is the one.

I can tell you that in almost 15 years of marriage that you Deb, still take my breath away and make me smile every single time you enter a room.

I love you Deb!

I love when husbands (spouses in general) have this much love and respect for what their wife brings to the family. Thanks you two for the good example you set.

Obviously I'm the lucky one. 'Nuff said.

What a sweet post, Phil! I totally agree - Deb is the WOMAN!!! But I also love how you are so open with your love and admiration for her. There is never room for her to doubt. I've enjoyed watching your relationship and learning from your examples. Love you guys!
