An early Valentine's Day tribute

I just can't wait until Valentine's Day to proclaim my deep love for my husband! This Sunday, I realized just how lucky I am to have found the love of my life. Not that I haven't realized it before, but I wanted to share with the entire world :) how precious he is.

We were sitting in church on Sunday and he was looking at our church announcements/bulletin. He pointed to something and looked at me and smiled, and I was a little confused at first. There in the bulletin it was a reminder about the Father/Daughter Movie Night at our church this weekend. I asked, "Are you excited about doing that one day?" and he just grinned and nodded. I had to smile and look away as tears started welling up in my eyes. (I'm not sure if he ever noticed the tears streaming down my cheeks . . .)

How lucky is our little girl to have a daddy that will be excited about special events to come years down the road? He will be the sweetest, calmest, most caring daddy I can ever dream of for her and already is for Lawton. I have married the most kind, compassionate, calm, level-headed, Godly man I could dream of. He does so much to help around the house and is one of the hardest working people I have ever met. The children and staff at his school are the luckiest people in Metro to have him as an administrator and I hope they realize that. Now, I will say he is not the most romantic guy in the world and still has trouble with public affection :), but I know that he loves me deeply and would be completely lost without me. :) I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to Chad and hopefully one day our children will understand how incredibly lucky they are to have him as a father. I love you sweetheart!

Having a strong Christian man for a husband is one of the greatest blessings in the world! I, too, get teary eyed when I think about our little girl growing up with such a wonderful daddy.

Is it too early to declare Chad "Husband of the Year" AND "Dad of the Year"???
