most important people behind me and this blog!
The truth is- if not for Michael’s (aka hubby) patience, skill,
support and insight, many of the projects I post about here
on the blog, would never have been completed-nor, would
I have ever been able to take on the ENORMOUS job of
fixing up our 100+ year old home.
But to be fair-there is more to this smiling face than just
putting up with my inept carpentry skills and endless list
of projects!
First and foremost- Michael is a dad.
There is NOTHING more important than his kids…
And finding ways to spend more time with them-(no matter what that involves)
means the world to him.
He’s also a grandpa-and though it’s a new title(7 months)-I think he’s
a natural!
This saying couldn’t be more true when it comes to
Michael. I feel blessed every day that he was raised by
such as a strong, vibrant and amazing woman, like
Mom L! If not for her-he would never have become
the man he is today.
Together they have
endured some very difficult-life changing losses.
It was then that doctors found a tumor in his left eye. Unfortunately,
the only option back then was to remove the eye-and replace
it with a ocular prosthetic(artificial eye).
Here is where this free-spirited, wild and crazy-ENORMOUSLY funny
guy-feels most at peace. It is on these rides (whether I’m along or not)
that he shares his troubles, joys and thoughts with his dear
sister, who passed away in a car accident, over thirty years ago.
I’ve known this big hearted-strong willed, number crunching
man for over twenty years-and I feel completely blessed
that he chose to take the journey of marriage with me four and a
half years ago.
It hasn’t always been easy. Like most couples,
there are good times and bad, but the future
looks pretty amazing on the horizon, and we can’t
wait to see what comes next!
I hope you enjoyed this up close and personal look at the man in my life- and
behind this blog. I plan on sharing more about the VERY special
folks in my life, in future posts.
Very sweet. All the best to both of you.
