The mother of my child (my baby's mama!)



I heard a football coach once say that he definitely out kicked his coverage when he married his wife. I have always felt the same is true about me. I am "that guy." You know, the guy that everyone wonders how he got her to marry him. I am thankful for my wife every day, and I am happy that our son gets to grow up with such a great woman.

My wife is the most loving, intelligent, creative, funny, and beautiful person I have ever met. Holly can make the worst day feel like the best, she lights up a room when she walks in, and makes every person she meets feel like they are the most important person on the planet.

Her heart for Jesus, and her love for the people Jesus loved amazes me everyday. She genuinely cares for those who are hurting in a way I will never understand. I always tell people that if I wasn't around she would give everything we own to those in need.

Our son is in for a treat when he gets to meet his mother for the first time and all of the days after that. He will grow up learning how to love, how to value the diversity in the world, possibly speaking Spanish! These are all things I'm not good at, and would never be able to teach our children as well as Holly will.

The best thing about my wife is that she loves me. She knows all of my flaws and mistakes and loves me for who I am. Thank you for loving me Holly, and for all of the things you're going to teach our son. You're the best!
