Chris aka: Baby

Ah, my husband, Chris. Someone I don't tell enough how much I love him and how proud I am of him. I always had enough pride to know that I would marry someone special :) but I really out did myself! Chris is the modern day MacGyver! He continues to amaze me with the stuff he knows how to do.. whether it's cooking the perfect overeasy egg, or discussing and fixing a blown motor. He makes me laugh everyday with his witty sense of humor. He gives and helps others without even thinking twice about it. He continues to be someone that I strive to be more like. He makes me want to be better! I love him and the best part is that I know he loves me! Lastly, it is indescribable how giddy I feel when I see him be the father I KNEW he would be! Ryder is already so much like his Dad! This is everything I hoped for!

Love You!
Alaina

Christti

My friend, Christti, is actually the inspiration for this blog. She has been an acquaintance for a few years, but just recently would I consider now a real good friend! Christti watches my 14 month old son 3 days a week. I've had the opportunity to visit with her for a few months and continue to be amazed by her! With the pressures of being a wife and watching kids, I still have yet to see any frustration or any complaining come from her! In my opinion, she is just the essence of patience, kindness, and charity! She does a job that I know I could not do and know very few, if any, people who could! I learn from her and she makes me want to be better.
