My Bearded Man

I feel it necessary to write about my wonderful husband today! He is my rock, best friend, bearded knight in shining armor, and the one who made me the "Hillbillie Housewife"!!!!  We have had our fair share of ups and downs in our almost seventeen years together, but each challenge has made our love that much stronger. I can honestly say that we are closer today then the day we were married, and I couldn't do this thing called "life" without him!

Almost two years ago, I took up running. I have (to put it mildly) fallen in love with it. There is NO WAY that I could do this for fun, exercise, and certainly not for competition without the help and support from my husband. He has been there for me from the beginning and is so encouraging and supportive. I never get tired of seeing him and the kids on the sidelines at each race cheering me on. In fact, I get teary eyed EVERY time! He definitely has his hands full on race days with all the kids, but NEVER complains.

We started doing foster care almost 5 years ago. Aaron has also been very supportive in this and we are learning and growing so much through these experiences. I have been homeschooling our children now for going on seven years and whenever I am ready to give up and throw in the towel, he is there to help me through.

I love this life and I am so happy I have someone as special as my bearded man to share it with! Thanks so much honey for loving, supporting, and encouraging me always!
