My Sweet Hubs

As we get ready to celebrate my husband's 26th birthday, I thought I would write a quick update about how things are with him. Brian is the hardest worker I know. He is always thinking about our future, our security, and about taking care of one another. Brian is one of the most loyal people I know. He has maintained friendships from preschool, and has such a large group of friends who know they can call him anytime with whatever they are going through. He is always so good about telling me how great he thinks I am (even though most of the time I don't think I deserve him). Brian can also make me laugh like no one else can. Whether I am laughing at him, or with him, he can brighten my day in ways he doesn't even know. I don't think Brian knows, but there are so many moments, not doing anything particular, when I look at him and my heart fills up so full I want to cry. I can't imagine my life without him, and feel like a hit the jackpot. Working at a children's hospital, I think a lot about what it will be like one day when we are parents - what trials and difficulties we may have to go through. I know one day we will face hardships, and I am so glad that it will be Brian who will face them with me.

Brian also has the ability to always be thankful. Almost every night before we go to bed, we talk about how blessed and fortunate we are to have a loving marriage, a house, nice things, loving families and friends, our jobs, and good memories. This first year of marriage has made us learn a lot about each other. We thought we knew everything, but have been pleasantly surprised by how much we have learned about each other in eight months.

That's enough gushing over Brian. He will probably be embarassed when he reads this. Oh well, I think he needs to hear it :)

The picture below is great for so many reasons. We were in Tuscaloosa for the UGA vs. Bama football game in 2007. We had a great time tailgating and spending time with friends. Our seats were in the Georgia section, behind the band - particularly, the tubists. Long story short, Georgia won in overtime, and Brian got, well, overcome with emotion :)
