I am the luckiest girl in the world...


To be married to this guy.

I am so busy I don't stop to think about it enough.

He loves our boys so much and he loves their mama.

He works all the time (he is shooting about four weeks in a row this month...so
we are both just beat.)

But he doesn't complain.  He comes home, scoops up the kids, and draws me a bath...
and usually hands me some chardonnay.

He listens to me gripe, helps me solve problems, and doesn't judge
me when I haven't shaved my legs in three weeks because the razor
fell under the tub and it always slips my mind to pick it up before I crawl
into the tub and I can't reach it when I'm in there.  They are bad, those legs...
and he doesn't complain (at least not to me).

To top it off, when he has a few days off he is sending me 
to the beach...alone!  for three nights!

I am truly blessed.  Just had to share.

And on behalf of Chris, here are some
of my favorite simple and beach-like images.

All the best....Julie
