My wife absolutely rocks!

It's time I give praise to my awesome wife. I am just grateful Melanie is who she is. She is such a strenght to me. Business-She supports me trying to get my little firm going, helps with the books, gives me encourgement, deals with advertising, etc. Mom-takes fantastic care of our kids, always comes up with little activities and projects for them to do and is instilling qualities in them that will last them a lifetime, our kids love her. Wife-fits me absolutely perfect, meaning she helps me try to be a good dad and person, mostly through example. The areas I am weak in personally, she is very strong and I try to follow her but usually fall well short. Care provider-doing and incredible job, comes up with activities for mom to do, makes sure the kids have things to do with grandma, invites mom to go places, groceries, cleaning, laundry, etc. Calling-While balancing all these activities, she also stays very busy with her calling as Relief Society counselor. As part of her calling she goes on visits almost weekly to the Sisters in the Ward. And the amazing thing is she does all these things genuinely with love. I know I do some things because I have to or am forced to, but I believe she has the gift of charity. Anyway, I know this is sappy and everything but I have been so grateful for her and go home everyday excited to see her.

  3. I hope you don't mind that I comment.... and stalk. When we moved into the Shelley 7th ward, Melanie was the first person to welcome me. She came right up, introduced herself, and I have just adored her ever since. 4 years later, nobody in our ward has ever made me feel more loved than she did in two weeks. She is truly an awesome lady!
