A Ridiculously Good Marriage

As of 2 o?clock today, Beth and I have been married for 16 years, and I still feel like the luckiest man in the world. Beth is the woman of my dreams, and she makes me a better man than I really am. I still can?t believe I ended up with such an incredible wife. She is generous and kind, beautiful and sexy, intelligent and curious, supportive and loving. She has an enthusiasm for life that is infectious; with her, everything is just more fun. God has been ridiculously good to me.

We both took the day off from work to celebrate our love. After taking the kids to school this morning, she brought me Starbucks in bed. Is that a great wife or what? Then we just spent the day being together. We hung out, went shopping (at a bookstore & at the J. Jill store), went out for lunch, and just generally enjoyed being together. After the kids got home from school, we all jumped in the car and drove out The Narrows of the Harpeth State Park. We got a late start, so it was nearly dark by the time we got there.

Life is Good! God is Good! Ridiculously Good!

Yes he is.

The Asbell family is wonderful! We are so happy for y'all and how God has blessed you.

Great pics!

(Was that a beard I saw, Asbell? Now the wise sage looks the part!)

Thanks, Phil.

Yes, that's a beard. I've had it since October (see the pic of me & Joshua in post#980), but it's coming off this weekend. We're heading down to Panama City Beach for the week, and I'm thinkin' it's time to shave.
