I figure Valentine's day is a great day to start (well.... the day before it anyways). And as i continue to figure, i further figure that this is a great time to share just how much Whit means to me. I'll keep it short and sweet.<br /><br />Well, really i just want to share this with Whit, so everyone else stop reading here...<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Whit, I wrote you a little list of important things I want to say to you, I first want you to know that I love you, more than you could know, more than I know how to show you sometimes, but I need you to know that it is true, and I will always be by your side, trying to make you laugh, and not knowing when to be quiet, and all the other things that you love about me, I’ll always be here…<br /><br />1. I love you with everything that I am, and everything that I could ever hope to be<br />2. I hope and pray that we continue to fall in love and laugh how we have for the past (and best) 6 years and 4 months of my life<br />3. I can’t wait to see what God has planned for the rest of our lives together, and I can’t wait to chase hard after whatever that is with you by my side<br /><br />I know its not much, but hey, we’re newly weds, and this is free!!! Anyways, for all of you who just intruded in our personal lives, thanks for reading, now go tell your loved ones how much they mean to you!!!<br /><br />Be blessed…<br />ericEric & Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17605342660219091926noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094529647163506839.post-52094774745126618212010-01-26T05:49:00.000-08:002010-01-28T19:45:13.890-08:002009, The Reader's Digest VersionWow, it's hard to keep up with a blog!

Not that this was one of our new year's resolutions or anything, we just thought it might be fun to catch up to the rest of our family, join the club, hop on the bandwagon, whatever you want to call it. Anyways, here we are, blogging about whatever happens during this craziness we call life. Hope you enjoy it!Eric & Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17605342660219091926noreply@blogger.com2
