The Man I LOVE

If you didn't know, Adam and I started dating in high school.  We began dating in the fall of 1991, when I was a Junior and he was a Sophomore...yep, I'm older! :)  I knew from the first time I saw him play with one of his little cousins, and how good he was with her, that I was going to marry him one day.  I mean, what was not to love about this guy, who at the time wore flannel shirts and Doc Martens (we all did, it was the 90's!)?

We dated for almost 8 years before we got married in the middle of the summer in 1999...my grandparents 51st wedding anniversary no less! (one day, Adam will meet Grandpa...inside those pearly gates!)  Soon after, we became pregnant with our Bryson.  Enter autism.  Enter struggles.  Enter GOD!! Enter Grace!!!

Adam isn't the man I married.  Yes, he's still able to quote just about any movie line, loves cars and Metallica, but God changed him. (me too!!) He's patient. He's loving.  He's kind.  He's sweet.  He makes me laugh til I cry.  He loves our kids fiercely, but most of all, he loves the LORD! More than he loves me, Bryson or Meghan.  More than American Pickers and classic cars.  He has transformed in front of my eyes into one of the most Godly men I know.  I am honored to be his help mate in this life.  I'm blessed that God gave us each other so early in our lives.  I'm blessed to be serving along side of him in our live and at our church.  He's an amazing man, and I love him so, so much!!!
