We’ve all heard the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder.
And I’m here to tell you that it does.
When my husband was in India for ten days recently, I missed him more than I can put into words.
Especially because of the whole arm and leg thing.
But he’s back.
And I’m happy.
And I realized some of you don’t even know him yet–this awesome guy I’m married to.
So let me introduce you…
Mike, these are some really great people.
And really great people, this is Mike…
(That’s a picture of us at a restaurant on Mother’s Day. Pre-cast. Pre-wheel chair. Pre-electric scooter.)
(And that’s a picture of us when we went to San Francisco a couple of months ago.)
We’ve been married fourteen years, but we’ve been together for twenty three.
High school sweethearts.
Soul mates.
Best friends.
So there you go.
Now you know who I’m talking about when I say my husband, or Mike, or the best dad in the whole world. :)
Talk soon,
Great pictures, and Mike, nice to meet you! Hope you are doing better and milk the electric scooter in Target thing! My kids have always wanted to drive it.
Awww, that's so sweet! You guys look great together. :-)
Hi Genny~ I've not been to your blog before and enjoyed getting to know you a little (And, your husband!) :-) So sorry about what happened earlier and all of the firsts you've experienced. God has a very different plan for our lives than ours, sometimes, doesn't He? May He bless you with Holy Inspiration as you write the manuscripts He has called you to write. I'll look forward to following your progress.Blessings… Jennifer
Aren't you two the cutest couple!!
Tell Mike it was a pleasure! Glad he is home, happy for you!
Hi Mike! I'm Kristin. Nice to meet you :) Thanks Genny for introducing us!!
You guys make a beautiful couple. Nice to meet you, Mike! :)
So sweet!! Very nice to meet you and congrats on all your years together!! Hmmm, let me think – my hubby and I have been married over 16 years and together for about 20 I guess. And funny, my hubby has been to India twice – for business.Now I think you need a pic with both of you in electric scooters! :)
Love the pictures you posted. And I love hearing about couples that have been together so long and still feel that way about one another. I feel that way about my husband too. Together 10 years, married almost 5! So, no where near you guys, but hopefully on the same path:)
♥ You guys are such a cute couple! :)

Nice to "meet" you, Mike! Your wife is fabulous – such a talented writer and warm-hearted person (and did I mention she's beautiful?). But you already know all that…P.S. My husband and I are high school sweethearts too. We've been married for 7.5 years; together for 12. :)
