Anniversary Addendum (by Tim)


Hello!                                  July 28th, 2008


Today is my 7 year anniversary. I celebrated this joyous event with my wife 

two days ago with our youngest son James, who is still in the womb. We love our  children to pieces, but we love each other more, so it was nice to just spend the day together. I was so honored that Allyson would take me on a man date and be such a great friend to have along. She didn't roll her eyes or criticize me when I got excited over the things we were doing. She didn't rush me nor did she tell me how much she would rather be shopping for herself. It was a very unusual date for a man to enjoy with his wife. You see, we spent the day learning about guns and shooting them at the range and then walking casually through Sportsmen's Warehouse looking at all the "grunt!, grunt!" man things to do outdoors.

I say it was unusual because, you tell me how many couples you know where the wife would ever take her husband out on a "man's date", much less on an important anniversary and even being five months pregnant. That was a royal treat for me. Not  so much the fact that the "man date" was fun, but far more so that my wife would honor me and enjoy me enough to initiate it and enjoy every moment of it herself. 

Thank you baby, for making me feel wanted, admired and respected.

Great blog entry, Tim. That's what it's all about. I'm thankful, too, for your wife who admires and respects you so much. As you know....when a man treats his wife like a queen, and a woman treats her husband like a king....there is a alot of harmony and bliss. (And who would even think of wanting to leave a marriage like that, I ask...?)
Thanks to you two for your good example of an excellent marriage. You have found the KEY.
Love,
Mom
