Where to begin...almost 6 years ago I met this amazing man. At first we didn't talk too much, he was pretty shy and as I am sure most of you know, I am definitely not. He was the complete opposite of every other guy I had ever dated. I can remember pointing him out to my friend Kathryn and saying "I don't know what it is, I like him so much and he is definitely not my 'type'." On April 23, 2004 we went on our first date! I was so pleasantly surprised that this guy who wasn't my "type" was exactly what I needed and wanted. I knew pretty much immediately that this time it was different. November 12, 2005 he asked me to be his wife. December 29, 2006 we said our vows and pledged to spend the rest of our lives together. I thought that I could never love him more than I did on our wedding day. March 10, 2007 we found out that we were expecting our first child. I knew he would make a great father. November 7, 2007 we welcomed our sweet baby girl, Kaley Marilynn into this world. She made us a family. As I watched John holding his daughter that day I loved him more than I ever had before. Over the past 19 months I have watched him be the most amazing father and role model to Kaley. I could not have asked for a more perfect person to be the father of my children. February 2009, we found out that we will be welcoming our second child into our family in October. Jaelynn will learn fast how blessed she is to have John as her daddy. John as I watch you with our daughter each and every day I fall more in love with you than I was the day before. You are everything I hoped and prayed for my entire life. I love the way you will do anything to make your daughter happy and yet at the same time you are able to discipline her in a kind enough way that she knows you love her no matter what. I love the way you touch my belly just to be a little closer to Jaelynn or feel her moving. I could stay up all day and night making a list of all the things I love about you as my husband and the father of my children. I love the man that you are, the father that you have become, and the role model that you strive to be for your family. I love you more than words can ever express. Thank you for being you and thank you for being such an incredibly loving father.
