Happy Birthday, Bryan!
I wish there was a way to put into words how I feel about my husband. Every time I try to write what is in my heart, it just doesn't seem to describe exactly how I feel. I think back on our courtship, and I am grateful that he became mine and I became his. There were moments when I wasn't so sure that we would be together--moments I am sure that he wasn't so sure either. In fact, at one point in time, I was so confused that my mother (without my knowledge) called Bryan and asked him to be patient with me. She told him that she knew that I was in love with him, but that I wasn't aware of my own feelings yet. Bryan is patient. He is patient with our kids, and he is patient with me. There are things that I do that if the roles were reversed--I'm not sure if I would be as gracious with Bryan as he is with me. In those moments, when I know he is being an example of patience, I am even more grateful to my dear, sweet Bryan. I love him with all of my heart, and I am so blessed that he is mine! 

Bryan loves to ride his bike to work. I surprised him with a bike bag.
