On a Personal Note...

I try not to have to much personal things on this blog simply because I am the author of it. I try to make this blog about the IronMen as a whole and not my personal life blog.

However, I must share some person info now. I want to praise a wonderful woman, my wife Paige. She has just spent an entire week serving others with her time and efforts. We had my daughter Emaline's 2nd birthday parties (yes we had two, one for friend and one for family) this weekend and my wife did such a great job. She has spend the entire week and more preparing for these parties. On Saturday, we had Emailine's friends and their parents over to the house for a party and it was great! On Sunday, we had our families over to the house for another party and again, it was great! She has put so much effort into these events so that Emaline would have the best day possible. I know that she accomplished this goal!

She is so amazing to me for many reasons. She is so talented and creative (ie... "E" birthday cake, "E" cookies, etc)! She can make or do so many amazing things (ie... we had "E" parties for Emaline. What a great idea and what a great outcome!).

Paige has impecable character! I heard the other day on the radio that following the rules and doing what your are supposed to is a sign of character. Well, if you know Paige, you know that she will NOT break the rules on anything! Oftentimes I give her a hard time about it (ie.. turning right on red even when it says not too...) but I now realize that is a sign of her incredible character! Her richness runs so deep and she is so caring/compassionate. We have some amazing kidos and that goes directly to her and the great role model she is and the intentional time that she spends with them.

There is not a day that goes by that I am not amazed at the monumental blessing that I have in such an amazing woman to spend my life with. I could not handle life without her, no doubt!

I definitely "out kicked my coverage" in marrying Paige!!! I love you so much!
