OUR MAN

For the last two weeks there have been two sad faces around our home; Me and Bentley's. Byron drove a semi-truck to Texas to pick up a trailer and haul loads on his way back home. Well I knew this 5 day excursion would turn inton a 1 1/2 weeks-I just didn't think It would take 2 1/2 weeks! Bentley has been referring to Dad as being in the "DODGE" every thing with a motor is a dodge. We now have been talking about dad driving the dodge home. We are on a serious countdown---he'll be home Friday or Saturday---don't even bother to call us-as we will not be answering any phones. I am so grateful that I do not like to be away from my husband. He is more than my best friend, he is my love, my confidant, and my truest cheerleader. He thinks better of me than I do of myself and I feel profoundly grateful for him. I do not believe there is one person meant for another-soul mates if you will. However, I do so strongly feel that Byron and I test the waters on that belief. I have found more happiness in our last 3 1/2 years of marriage than I expected in a whole life. He completes me and makes up for all that I lack-and that is no small matter. How thankful I am that no matter come what may he is mine FOREVER! I look forward to our forever and know that marriage is ordained of God for we truly become our best selves. He makes me want to be so much more than I am. I love you always....WELCOME HOME BABE-your fans are waiting for you! Love Bertha & B

Mama Mo! The other day I was in my aerobics class that I TA for and in walked our substitute teacher. It took everything I had to not stare and drop my jaw because this girl was a spittin image of you! I almost died with excitement, only to find out it wasn't you :( But seriously, you have a twin in this world. Dark, curly hair, big beautiful smile, everything. She even talked like you.

Hey sis, Love the post! You are a great wife and sister and mom. Way to endure so long without your hubby...I could never survive. You are great and I love that you love Byron so much - that's what marriage should be! Mine is the same and I'm so grateful for that. Love you, Berg
