A Glimpse into our Life

What I love about Gary!

       Gary is very energetic and makes every situation fun and exciting.  He loves everything about the outdoors.  He enjoys mountain biking, swimming, cliff jumping, fishing, hiking, and much much more.  If it sounds fun, he definitely is on board to try it!  Throughout Gary's life, he has been involved in many sports.  He is definitely all BOY! He is good at softball, baseball, football, and basketball.  

       Gary has been blessed with so many talents.  He has a beautiful voice and he enjoys playing the guitar.  Another talent he has is photography.  He enjoys doing weddings, nature photos, and family pictures.  Gary is the type of guy that will take on challenges and learn how to do anything. If something is broken, he will fix it.  

      What I love the very very most about Gary is how kind and considerate he is to me, Brighton, and his family.  He will drop everything to help others. It has been so much fun see him grow as an individual through the love of teaching and being a father!  He is inspires all ages of kids to take risks and teaches them to work hard. Lastly, he's always dependable and a good example to those around him. 

LaRecia through my eyes!

From the very beginning of our relationship, I knew that LaRecia was exactly what I wanted and needed in my life!  She is the person that makes me stronger and gives my life purpose.  She is a woman of extreme determination and is always able to do whatever she sets her mind to.  She has accomplished much in her life and always seems to know without a shadow of a doubt the direction she needs to go.  Seeing the bravery she demonstrates as she overcomes everyday the pains of Rheumatoid Arthritis, shows me what a special and grand soul she is!  She is always strong and is one of the hardest workers I know.  One of the greatest defining moments that always gives me the greatest admiration for her is when I have the privilege of observing her teach in her classroom as a special education teacher.  She has one of the greatest capabilities and potential as a mother as I see how she interacts with the children she teaches.  All of her children love her.  Many times she has loved and effectively taught certain children whom others have failed and given up on.  She always has a smile on her face and has an extreme positive countenance that can brighten up anyone's day!  She is patient with children and has this extraordinary understanding and love of all children she encounters that I've rarely seen in anyone else.  She was created into this world to work with children and be a mother, of that I am certain.  Just watching her go throughout her life gives me the strength to be better than I was yesterday.  I could never have asked for a better companion to go throughout life with and experience all that life has to offer.
