Heidi and I have been friends since I can remember. I grew up with her and her family and have so many fun, enriching memories! I can't tell you how many times I have counted on Heidi's support through life, she is the good angel on my shoulder. She inspires me with her devotion to her family, her faith, and her friends. Her soul is such a special one! I am so lucky to be able to experience life with her. How she does all the things she does in a 24 hour period, I'll never know!? Always managing to take the time to put others needs ahead of her own, and making a difference whether she knows it or not. She is so kind and gentle, her fragile spirit keeps you calm. However the roaring laughter we burst into at times, is hysterical in of itself! I cherish those times over and over!
Today I wanted to say Thanks for the memories, my dear, dear friend and there will be many more to be made!! I am thinking about you today and everyday a prayer is in my heart for you and yours... You are a wonderful friend... LYLAS 4ever!
My husband is everything to me... He is my rock, my best friend, my hero, my dreams come true, my sunshine, my warmth, and he is the person I had been looking for all my life. I don't see much of him lately, his training calls for long hours away from us. I miss him every second he's away, and wait vigilantly with my phone for the "BEEP" that always has a loving message from him. Whether it be a "Good Night" or an "I Love you" my heart skips a beat and I smile "He never forgets."
Tonight as I rest my head in our bed, I will fall asleep thinking of another silly story of us, or maybe a quiet memory of a night in Cambria, or it's always fun to recall our long talks up on the parking structure at work (what did we talk about till 2am!?!?!) Everything! It was in those nights that I fell deeper and deeper in love with you. I will never forget the way it felt to walk down the aisle to be your wife. You still give me butterflies that remind me how much I am in love with you...
Before you know it I will drift off to sleep until that welcomed "BEEP" that warms my heart and sends me back into dreamland...
He is the city's hero in the night, always looking to make it a safer place to be, even just for 10 hours (sometime 20!!). I can't put into words what I feel for Dan, I just know that I am the luckiest girl in the world. Matthew and I are so thankful everyday just to be his son and wife... We love you Daddy.
What would I do without our dogs... I can't imagine life without them. Aside from the many stains, chasing Rocky down the street,vacuuming dog hair for hours at a time, or getting them to not lick us at the most inopportune times... they are our children and Matthew's siblings. Every night they tuck our boy in and never leave his side. Even when I am a crabby witch, (who me???)(smile!) they still love me. I was never a dog lover until Dan showed me that their love is truly unconditional and the sense of safety they bring to our home is irreplaceable... So thank you Lexa for being the Momma, Max for your goofy antics and Rocky for never surprising us and for always making me laugh. You are my babies and I love you!!
