She is...

Over the past couple of days I have tried to post an open letter to my wife.  For various reasons I've had technical challenges with getting the post live. 

My wife is simply amazing.  This week my beautiful wife who works wonders in our house.  She takes care of the entire family and manages our household schedule like a pro.

My wife is thoughtful.  This weekend, Trish, arranged for a Sunday afternoon date.  We had a great time eating at Five Guys Burgers and Fries.  Of course, we don't always eat burgers, so this was a real treat.  The food was great, but the conversation and the beautiful woman that sat beside me at the table was even better.  We even had an ice cream date afterwards.

My wife is a great listener.  During our date Trish listened as I poured over episodes, stories, events, successes and failures from the last couple of weekends.  She listened patiently and objectively and didn't pass judgment.  When she felt she understood what was said, she added some encouragement and advice.

My wife is a great mother.  Several nights this week I could hear Trish downstairs listening to our two teenagers tell their stories.  I can only imagine how tired she must have been after a long day of taking care of a two year old and a seven month old.  Yet, she stayed until the last story was done.  Early in the morning she got up and listened to the stories, worries and concerns of the younger crew.  She loves these girls more than words can express.

Trish is amazing, thoughtful, great with kids, an amazing friend, and a wonderful wife.  I thank God for placing her in my life and I praise her for being who she is.
