Last but not least...

Russell was looking over our blog this morning an jokingly said, "you didn't put me in it anywhere." So of course, I'm going to make sure he's included. I know all of you know him, but for those of you that may not know him very well... here he is.

Russell and I met almost 5 years ago and will have our 3rd anniversary April 23rd. I cannot understand why God saw fit to send me such a wonderful, hardworking, God-fearing man. He is truly an answered prayer. When Russell and I first met and were getting to know one another, I ask him if he had any hobbies and his reply was, "I love farming, I don't need a hobby." Little did I know how true this statement was. Russell LOVES farming, and thank goodness he does. It is the hardest work I can imagine any man doing. He is so driven and determined, no matter how grim the harvest "forecast" may look or how bad the cattle industry is doing... he's going to keep on keeping on! I love his work ethic, his super smart business sense, his desire to provide the best for our family and most especially... his FAITH. What could a farmer be without faith. Thank you Lord for such a Godly, strong, intellegent, loving man!!! I will always be grateful for him!


And lastly, Russell is an UNBELIEVABLE daddy. He loves his girls like nothing else in this world. He's always treated Riley Grace like she was his own and now that Maggie Ruth is here... there's even more love to go around! The girls love to laugh and play with him everynight in the den floor after supper. He's also a big cookies and milk with the girls in the recliner fan!!! I love to watch them all love on each other... it makes me smile really big (inside and out)!
