Another birthday for Kyle

Hmmm, I wanted to use a baby photo of my baby for his 29th, and this awkward shot is the oldest photo of him on this computer. Awkward because he's not quite kissing Ellie's head, but it's the thought that counts.

And that's kinda why I love this guy so much. He is always thinking about what other people may be thinking, and trying to make them more comfortable, encouraged, appreciated, what have you. At least that's the effect he's had on me.

As a typical young-mom-in-a-frenzy, I seem to often be searching for validation and further appreciation for the sacrifices I make. And then I think, what about Kyle? Who appreciates him for having to appreciate me and my whiny self? I appreciate you, Kyle! And now we come full circle and he needs to start appreciating me again. What I'm trying to say, in my own convoluted way, is how happy I am to be stuck with this man forever.

He is golden. It is a very good thing to be loved, but to be loved by someone like him is the best life can get. That's the gospel truth.
