So this morning was a fun one already. I had given the challenge to my students to all arrive on time by 6:25. I am proud to say that only six were late, but by only two or three minutes. It was phenomenal.
The cool thing was that our lesson was on marriage and the importance thereof. I quickly realized how truly grateful and blessed I am to have such an amazingly beautiful and wonderful wife. I am sure there are many of you who read "our" blog and think that you know us. But, I tell you, you only know such a small percentage of all the good and great my wife is.
This is a woman whose beauty outshines any sunrise and is more breathtaking than any sunset. A woman who so selflessly gives of herself that her love resembles that of the Savior and encourages me to emulate her and Him at the same time. A companion with compassion abounding for all of the people she meets, regardless of station in life. To see her work and bring out the best in all around her is breathtaking. (Shameless plug time: See her live in action this Sunday morning at the Ward Primary program! Contact us for more info.) My wife teaches me every day to be a better man and to use my priesthood with a greater sense of purpose and quiet dignity. She is the complete package of a friend who knows when I need to cry, when I need to laugh, and when I need to love. Julianna has given me renewed purpose and vision for my life and (as I bore testimony to those in class today) the first breath of every day and the last vision of beauty I see every night before retiring.
I know I am a good guy, but my wife is a great woman. My hope and prayer is that I can be better for her every day.
I love my wife/friend/everything/reason for being!
