On the first day of Christmas....

goes the song.  But I am going to change it a little.  My God gave to me...my true love.

I have been blessed with a true love that I have been in love with for 23+ years!  Longer with him than without him.  And although he may drive me crazy at times, the fact that I get upset about problems with him and don't ignore them tells me that I still love him.  He is a loving husband and father who cares about providing for his family and works hard to do so.    In his "manly" way of not wanting to talk about feelings, he still will listen and understand and keep working with me for both of us to do better in our marriage.  I love you Dave and am glad that I married my college friend and sweetheart!
