To My Love...

Ten and a half years of love, joy, sorrow, service, sacrifice, and above all patience. If you would have asked me then how I thought my love for Yvette would grow, I don't know that I would have been able to even come close to gratitude that I have for her. There have been countless hours of her worrying for myself, the girls and many others around us. I cannot even begin to name the many times that she has supported me in my crazy ideas and adventures. Through them all, she is there, happy and supportive no matter what. Though I give her a bad time about the crazy fabrics covering my kitchen table and stacked along the couch-I am so grateful for her talent and her ability to balance two kids, a crazy husbands schedule with church and work and politics-she deserves so much more than I can ever offer. To the woman of my dreams, the mother of my children, and my eternal companion-Happy Birthday Yvette! May you always know of my love for you and know that I will ALWAYS be here for you for ever and always! Matt
