Twenty seven years ago today I said “I do” to the most amazing man – affectionately called “Bob the Builder” here on my blog! As the years have passed I’ve fallen in love with him over and over, deeper and deeper and I consider myself the most blessed woman alive!

Bob’s a patient, loving, gentle, a hard worker and incredibly smart (He was the valedictorian of his college graduating class). And let’s not forget his amazing ability to build or fix anything! Hence the nickname. And if that’s not enough, he’s FUN!  He’s got a great sense of humor and loves to shop (yeah me!). There isn’t a soul that knows him and doesn’t love him!

He’s been by my side all 19 years of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator making him a fantastic business partner.  He’s tackled every aspect of my business including wearing a Stampin’ Up! apron and teaching at events.  He’s my IT guy, repairman, receptionist, postal carrier, project manager and sounding board.

He’s the kind of father you dream of. He’s handled everything from minor cuts and scraps to pep talks, hormonal meltdowns, teaching Boo to drive, wiping her tears when her heart was broken to providing sound advice. I simply could not blog today without celebrating him – celebrating us – and our amazing twenty seven years of marriage!
