Clear Epic

Happy birthday babe! I focus so much on how fast Prayse is growing up, then I realize that WE are too! Well… maybe just you since you’re now 30 and all I was sitting down and thinking last night that when I first first saw you you were 21, but it doesn’t really count because I may or may not have been oogling from a far as I watched you warm up for a hurdle race. I also may or may not have still been in high school. So it doesn’t count. Then when I went to Doane and may or may not have been admiring you from a far and trying to make myself invisible when you stood next to me at lunch gathering up what you wanted to eat. I remember I had not taken the time to do anything that morning except throw on a pair of sweats. I remember just hoping to God you wouldn’t say anything to me. I just kept thinking, “Of all the days THIS is the one that he is right here???” Don’t worry, you didn’t talk to me that day much to my relief.

Working out with you during track season the next two years was so much fun. Part teammate, part coach, all friend.

We had a fun beginning and a crazy journey. Now look at us! We’re old married folks and parents to boot! I remember in track practice Amy teasing us about how big our kids’ lips would be if we ever ended up together and had babies - I’m not sure about the huge lips, I tend to think P’s are perfect. Along with yours.

I can’t wait to celebrate 30 with with you! I’m also looking forward to celebrating 50, 60, 70, 80, 90…

Have a great day sweets!!

(I couldn’t find the cords to hook my camera up and download new pics so I did a Google Image search of my babe: Check it out!) Sorry for the small size!

Look at you, being all footballey and not smiling for the camera. You go coach!
