JustIn Control

My wife Sarah is indescribable, but I'll do my best. She is beautiful, hilarious, talented, crafty (as in painting and sewing, not plotting world domination), smart, (and did I mention beautiful?). She has a breathtaking smile, the warmest eyes and a laugh that is infectious. She has been my biggest support, my biggest fan, and my greatest friend.

2008 was anything but easy. We have never been so broken and so completely undone. But through it all, my wife has shown strength when there was no more to give, faith when it was the hardest to believe, selflessness when she had every right to focus on herself, and love when it seemed like our hearts were empty. Through all the trial and sadness, my wife came out the other side an even more amazing woman.

This Mother's Day I am beaming with joy at the very thought of Sarah as not only my wife but also the mother of my child. My heart is overwhelmed with how lucky I am to have married such an amazing woman. My two biggest hopes for my daughter are that she will grow up to love Jesus with all of her heart and that she will grow up to be just like her mom. I know that I am getting all mushy and the world can see it, but I am sitting here at 2:50 in the morning and my heart can not contain the joy and excitement and pride that I feel this Mother's Day.

Sarah, I love you so much and I am so proud of the woman you are, the woman you are becoming, and the mom you are going to be. Happy Mother's Day.
