Over past year or so I found Danielle going through more and more Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm.  It’s something that I like to pick on and wanted to get a photo of it to document this little stage in our life.  I have always loved the artwork for Supersize Me and knew that the chapstick would make for the perfect parody.  Ironically, this is the only red shirt she owns. (It’s one I made for her when she went to get her drivers license renewed.)  One of the reasons’ I love Danielle so much is that she let’s me be “me”.  She’s willing to play along with my little games and does not get too annoyed with me.  (I can be very very annoying.)

She is much more comfortable snapping a shot with her iPhone than with my big fancy camera, but, if it were not for her trust, encouragement, and support there is no way I would be the photographer I am today.

She is my biggest cheerleader.
She visited my blog when no one else did.
She believes in me when I don’t believe in myself.

I am honored that she continues to choose me and could not imagine living my life without her next to me.  She constantly is giving of herself to those life sucking things we call children and her encouraging words are what keep me going in the hard times.

Weddings have very little to do with marriage, but spouses have everything to do with them.
I am so thankful to have the best person I know for a spouse.

I love you D.
