Bad husband confession: I didn’t blog in honor of Katie’s birthday last week. The day came and went, and no words were penned (or, keyboarded, rather) about the most important person in my life. That makes me feel like a dummy.

But what I would have typed last week is no different than what I would type today. And why not write about my beautiful wife on a day that is not her birthday or our anniversary? I know, I’m trying really hard to justify and redeem the fact that I didn’t write last week. But, alas, the past is the past.

I am amazed at the woman I married. I mean, I knew she was totally hot and really funny. A woman who desired to know and understand God. A person that puts more value on family than almost anything else in life. I knew all that, but every day she still amazes me.

As we get prepared for parenthood, I can’t imagine being in this place with anyone else. Katie is really everything I could have hoped and dreamed for in a wife and partner. I know that because of her gifts and abilities our daughter will be in great hands.
