Love of My Life

I thought I’d dedicate a post to the love of my life. No, I’m not talking about creating some snazzy new excel model to explain in dollars and cents some world phenomenon. Neither am I referring to either of my dear, sweet boys. Of course, you know this is about my sweetheart, Carrie. When we first met, it didn’t take me long at all to fall in love with her. I remember going home to my roommate after our first date and being on cloud nine. Carrie was smart, beautiful, and talented. I loved the fact that she took her studies seriously and we really enjoyed spending time together. Plus, she made me want to be my best self. As the years have gone by, I’ve realized that my initial love for her, although genuine, was only small and not so very deep. Including our engagement, she has graciously shared nearly 10 years of her life with me now. We each have our weaknesses and we’ve certainly survived some tense periods in our marriage, but through it all I’ve come to appreciate her for the qualities of her character. She’s completely dependable, fiercely loyal, and unfailingly disciplined. She’s only become more beautiful to me as I’ve come to know the person she is on the inside. We see life as having a new adventure around every corner. Continuous learning is ever present in our routines and we are each other’s best friend. She’s given me the gift of two precious boys and molded them to be the well-mannered boys they are. I am, indeed, grateful and blessed to have such a noble woman in my life. To these wonderful years we’ve shared together and many more.
Un beso mi amor!
