30 Days of Thanks Day 3

He wasn't thrilled with me taking his picture. lol
I am so very thankful for this man. God placed him in my life at the perfect time. We started dating my first summer working at church camp. We struggled through the long distance thing for more then a year (he lived in Boise while I was in Oregon) before he moved to be with me our senior year. We got married shortly after that in 2003 and haven't stopped since. Together we have been through so much, more then I ever wanted to deal with. I think we have come through it stronger. He is the reason I made the move to Boise. I can't imagine my life if I hadn't taken that step of faith with him. He is the hands on father I dreamed my kids would have. Our girls all just adore him and I can't imagine a person I would raise my girls with. I am thankful that Jimmy has pushed me out of my comfort zone more then I would sometimes like, but he had forced me to be a better person then I ever thought possible. With him I am willing to face whatever life is going to toss our way.
