Where Credit is Due

I fish a lot. I know. For someone with a gorgeous wife, a two year old, a 3 month old, a house to maintain, and a job to keep, I'm allowed a lot of time to fish. So here's a little credit, where credit is due.

Before I start, if you read my blog strictly for the fishing content, then I will apologize now. Come back for the next entry. If you have a strong avulsion toward public show of affection, you probably don't want to read this. I'm not one to express public signs of affection often since I don't like seeing or reading about them either. And I like to think I already do a good job of showing her I care everyday. But I figured with it being Valentine's Day, I thought I'd show a little more appreciation. I'm also not big on these made up "Hallmark holidays" either, but I'm a hopeless romantic and I know my wife deserves it.

My wife, my love

Words can not express my gratitude to you
You are a woman with no equal
Stong, smart, patient, loving
mother of our children

You are my everything
and without you I would be lost
It is you and your presence in my life that makes me believe
that no matter what happens
everything will be alright

The sweetness of your smile...
the warmth of your soul...
your never fading beauty...
I am the luckiest man in the world.

Thank you for being my Valentine (for the 12th time).

Love ya.
And no, I'm not going to ask for more kitchen passes because I wrote this.
