catch up

So we haven't done such a great job at keeping this thing updated! Oh well...either way.... some quick photos to catch up with our life...

flowers....

finally, after waiting a year since getting tickets, a night out and getting to go out to watch Phantom of the Opera and eat at Chima Brazillian Grille (by the way, that place is awesome!!! cowboys prance around the place offering any kind of meat you want... the parmesean pork loin, lamb loin, and filets were fantastic!!!)


dinners while Lee is out saving Charlotte one hoodlum at a time ;-)


Until next time! :-)

Wife of the Year

Well I have to say that regardless of what any of you other men out there may say... I have the world's best wife. She originally got me tickets to No Doubt live in Charlotte on their reunion tour, but I was unable to attend because of my work schedule. So instead of taking me to the concert, she went with another friend. And yes, while Chaise may argue that his wife is the world's greatest for volunteering to take my place at the concert, I would have to say that he's wrong. Granted Heather is pretty cool.
Well my wife brought me back a concert poster and hung it on my garage wall for me. I know that's awesome right? But hang on I am getting to the really good part.
My wife noted how distraught I was over missing my favorite angry girl band live in concert and suggested that I take a road trip to Raleigh to see them live on my day off. I immediately took to the idea. So tonight she got me tickets to go see No Doubt live in Raleigh.
To give a little credit, my good friend Caleb has agreed to go with me to the concert much to his chagrin. He even volunteered to dress in drag. (j/k)
I just wanted to take a second to share with the world how much I love and appreciate my wife. Nobody has ever worked harder to make me happy. I love her and she is the wife of the year... this year and every year.
