never skips a beat...

this sweet guy sure is my better half. we had an interesting 2012 and he never skipped a beat.   he has a new job(still selling software and traveling, and an awesome sales guy) but has been back and forth between phoenix and boston since early december.  we sure have missed him, but he would fly home on the weekends to take care of his duties as the Bishop of our ward.(the leader of the congregation in the LDS church).   he never skipped a beat.  he is our rock.   he supports me and our chickens, and works his bootah off,gets some church bball when time permits, makes pinewood derby cars and still serves the Lord without skipping a beat....

 

he exhausts me a little :)
