As a lot of my regular readers know, all my posts are proof read by my wife. But, not this one, this one is going up without any help as I wanted it to be a surprise. So, please don't comment on spelling or grammar today. (LOL)

Today I write about my rock, the person who keeps me grounded, but supports me in anything and everything I have done in the past 15 years. I've been lucky to have found my soul mate in my wife and 15 years ago today when we got married, it changed me!

Until the day I got married, I didn't realize why my parents were so happy. I now know that it was because they supported each other. They had patience when it was needed and sometimes just sat and laughed together.

Samantha, my wife has been there for me, even during the hard times, never criticizing, but always supporting my decisions, good or bad. I've been lucky and she has brought happiness to my life in a way that I didn't think was possible before I met her. Not only in just being with her, but she has shown me true happiness with given me three wonderful kids. To be honest, I didn't know just meeting someone could make you cry, but the day my kids were born brought tears of joy to my eyes.

My wife has been a stay at home mom since that day and that I know is tougher than anything I could ever do. She is a teacher, teaching my kids as we have decided to homeschool our kids. She is a cook that makes sure dinner is ready for our family dinners every night. She is friend that I can talk to about anything, even if it is about us. She is a comedian that can make me laugh even when I'm having the worst day ever.

So, thank you Samantha for the past 15 years and I couldn't ask for a better wife, friend, mom or cook than I have in you.

I LOVE YOU!
