One Fine Woman

Over 12 years ago I fell in love with a gorgeous, vibrant, fiery, yet sexy 22 year old. I have dragged her to places that she never imagined going, nor would she ever dream of going, including Provo, Utah. (I am actually sort of surprised she stuck with me with that one). However, since then I dragged her out to the middle of Wisconsin, where is far from home and bitter cold for 50% of the year, and she is still by my side.

This past week, Amy turned 25 again. And despite seven moves, life as poor students, one little girl, two little girls, three little girls, and yes, four little girls, five trips driving across the country, four winters below 40 below, late nights, early mornings, lots of sleep to no sleep at all, laundry, more laundry, and dirty diapers, I can honestly say Amy is even more gorgeous, more vibrant, more fiery and yes even more sexy than when she walked through the door to Acapella Choir in the old Institute Building on lower campus at the University of Utah over 12 years ago.

So, here is the girl I fell in love with.

And this is the girl in which I am even more
madly in love with today!


Happy Birthday beautiful woman.
I love you!!

What a happy day to have such nice things said about you from someone you love! Happy birthday. You just keep getting younger. Where's your gray hair? I'll give you some of mine.

Oh, my. I just read this and I'm blushing a vibrant red. Did he use the word sexy? In addition to being misleading, we just lost our "family" rating on Blogger.

Thanks, Kelly. And Barb, those grays are there, but the picture cuts them off. Too bad it can't cut off the wrinkles. He said he had to use this picture because it's the only one of my in the last 2 years. Intentionally.

I love you Amy! Just know that you've a friend in Arizona whose grey would put yours to shame. And I think Kelly is right, anyone who knows anything about real life would find us much more attractive at 35 than at 25. :) Happy Birthday.

So sweet! Can't complain about that, Amy! I was thinking of you all day on your birthday and I'm sorry I didn't send a card or e-mail. We are busy packing boxes to move to Colorado next week. Hope things are going well!
