This is our house in Freeport, Texas. The lady in the picture is the one that made that house a home. In 13 days we will be married 45 years, and she has spent the entire 45 years making our house a home
. I read a quote several years ago by Wiston Churchill. He told his wife that off all the decisions he had made in his life, his greatest decision, was asking her to marry him. I have never been put in a position to have to make important decisions like Winston Churchill, but you can take all of the decisions that I have ever made, and put them all together, an combined they would not equal the one, when I asked you to marry me. The happiest moment of my life was when you said yes, because without that question and that answer none of this would be possible. My sweetheart has always been willing to stay at home, in order for us to have a home. After spending many years out in the work force and seeing men, whose wife's worked, it just makes me so thankful that I have a wife, that THINGS don't mean that much to her. She was content to stay at home and make our house a home. She has spent 45 years taking care of my needs. When I needed babying she babied me. When I needed to feel like a man she made me feel like a man. When I was sick she doctored me. When I was hungry she fed me. When I was down, she was there to cheer me. When I was tired she sympathized with me. She always had my clothes clean and ready, and the list goes on and on. She gave me 5 wonderful children. She would sit up with them when they were sick. She was always there to answer their silly little questions. She was always there to see that they were properly dressed. As they grew, she was always there to teach them what being a man and a woman was all about. She was always there to make sure they knew their bible memory verses. If I wrote everything that my wife did to make our house a home, I would still be typing when I went to my grave. So don't ever ask me if my wife works. Her job is 24-7, 365 days a year, and she has done a fantastic job. So you see, you can build a house with lumber, concrete, and shingles, but it takes, love, compassion, caring, and work to build a home, and no one does it better than my sweetheart. I LOVE YOU AND THANKS FOR MAKING OUR HOUSE A HOME. JIM

Dear Jim, I have loved being your wife and the mother to our children. It was exactly what God made me to do. I am so thankful he gave you to be my husband. We have had some rough times in our lives but each trial taught us more than the one before. I am thankful for each day now that God gives us to be together and to live for God and each other. I only want in the days that lie ahead to love you better and more completely. Thanks for all the years and all the things we have accomplished as "one." I can't think of one more thing I could ask God to give me, He has given me a wonderful, husband, children, grandchildren,friends, a home that I love, and a Great God to love and serve. Your loving wife, Connie
She's a pretty good Grandma too.
I am thankful that both of you are my parents. Both of you have taught me how to love my wife and kids.
