Today let me talk about my wife, Holly. She is the apple of my eye, the best women around. I knew when I married her two years ago that God had put us together and as two years have passed I can say it still. It is amazing how we mesh together. How we are so very different from many marriages including my parents. There are no harsh words, no caustic remarks. There are no fights, no games, no power struggles. We are partners and are very happy together. We are one. I love her with all my heart.

As I think about the past two years I know without her my life would have been worse. She was with me on my rise to fame and on my fall. She was with me on my struggles, and I was with her on hers. We listen and talk about everything. I was given advice years ago by a good friend that the women I marry should be better than me and I followed it. She is more kind and considerate than I ever could be. In our wedding the pastor told everyone how I said she was the sweetest girl I had ever known. That is still true. It is not a sweet thing like "look at the fuzzy puppy, lollipop" kind of sweet. It is more of a sensual coyness with happiness. It is so hard to describe. It like seeing perfection out of the corner of your eye while driving. It is the smile and face and neck and shoulders all melding into one. It is kindness and gentleness when not asked. It is sacrifice when not deserved, a true reflection of our salvation.

Yup, I love my wife. As we partake in having a new child I can only think how much more love I will give. It is awesome to think that I didn't deserve my wife and now I don't deserve my child. I am truly a blessed man. I know it is from faith, not from works that my blessing comes. Many times I do feel like a fool with something so good that I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to act bad lest I bring us down. Holly makes me a better person. She inspires me to be a man of God. She accepts me as myself even if I am different than her. She is my best friend. It fills me with joy whenever I think about her. What an awesome wife. Happy Anniversery Holly!
Love,
Brian
