Husband and Daddy

I am not writing this for any special occasion...just because I want to express how wonderful my husband truly is! Griffin and I have been married for almost 3 years (December 30th)! We started dating my senior year and his junior year of high school. He is absolutely the love of my life! God definitely picked him out for me because he truly makes me a better person. He pushes me to a be a better Christian...gaining a deeper knowledge of who Christ really is. He has so much Biblical knowledge that I am often amazed. He is one of the most intelligent people that I know...graduating from Auburn with a 4.0 in Biomedical Sciences and going on to Medical School at UAB. He is probably very uncomfortable reading this right now because he DOES NOT like attention/praise...He is one of the most humble people that I know (a quality I adore about him). We have walked through the past 3 years of life as a newly married couple. Through some of the trials of life that have surfaced over the past few years, Griffin has been my rock...He knows when I need him to pray with me, love me, hold me, or even just sit there quietly with me.

Now, we are walking through life as new parents! God has blessed us with a beautiful baby girl for whom we prayed for many months! I have seen how great of a husband Griffin is, and I am now seeing how great of a daddy he is! The way he looks at Mary Lee each and every moment he is with her simply brings me to tears. It makes me have just a small understanding of the way God looks at us and how much He loves us. When she is fussy, he holds her, plays worship songs on iTunes, and sings to her...She just gazes into her daddy's eyes as he sings...talk about bringing tears to your eyes! Griffin is in his Pediatrics rotation right now...I know he is exhausted, but every day, as soon as he walks in the door, he gets Mary Lee from me and just loves on her! He texts me all day wondering how his girls are...We miss him all day but look forward to the moment he walks through the door from the hospital every night.

I could go on and on, but I will close with this...Griffin, you are truly my best friend. I thank God every single day for your life and for bringing us together! I have so much respect for you, and I admire so many of your attributes. You make me a better person. Thank you for being the best husband and daddy! I love you!
