The best decision I ever made was to marry Stephen. And the best day of my life was my wedding day. I can remember when I told my mom Stephen and I wanted to get married. She told me later that she went home and cried all night long. I remember her calling me and telling me how sad she was about our decision. See, she didn't know Stephen. She had only met him a few times before our announcement. It made me sad to think I was causing my mom distress. For a moment the thought crossed my mind, "Okay, I don't need to marry him, but I need to figure out a way to get him in my family." Then it occurred to me that to know Stephen is to love him. My mom just needed a chance to get to know him and she too would love him. Sure enough, he wooed her too. It wasn't long before she was hugging him good-night after family parties and just giving me a "see ya later" wave out the door. Stephen is a wonderful man full of kindness, humor, optimism, intelligence and integrity, just to name a few of his qualities. I love him and if you know him I bet you secretly have a little crush on him too.Happy Birthday Stephen!

I was JUST thinking to myself that you haven't blogged enough lately! I went looking for your pumpkin black bean soup - good, right? I think I'm making it tomorrow night to take to a sick family.
Also - what in the world was your mom worried about? Was it his bad hair cut and lame t-shirts? I guess I've known him so long it's hard not to love him, and hard to think of others' first impressions.
I had a not so secret crush on him when I was little. Not sure if he remembers me always trying to give him a surprise kiss. :) He hated it.
as a matter of fact I DO have a secret crush on him.
I love his humor.
Well, I DO have a crush on you guys as a couple. Pretty much the coolest, evah.
Both of you make an amazing couple.
Such a little cutie - and his humor is super funny!
I like his large muscles that he gets from lifting his 14 pound weight from the phillipines.
