David married me back when I wasn’t sure I would be able to be much of a wife to him. I was bed-ridden quite a bit and David carried a pillow around for me everywhere we went, and, occasionally, carried me when I couldn’t walk. Thankfully, I am WAY better than six years ago, but I am still dealing with my chronic pain, insomnia, and recently rediscovered, parasite issues. I thought they were gone, but I guess not.
Not taking life too seriously is a balance Jenni brings to our marriage. I tend to be all business and no play. I’ve learned to enjoy the journey and not focus solely on getting to a destination from Jenni.
We had a mini-date while my parents watched the kids and we struck a balance of getting some exercise walking around a mall and stopping by the Apple store so that I could check out the iPad 2 some more. While I’m fascinated by the Garage Band app, well, you call tell which app got Jenni’s imagination.
A good friend of mine, Tiffany, asked me to record her solo in her orchestra concert. This was a special event because trombones rarely have solos. It brings me back to my own experiences of sitting in the back of Clark College’s Orchestra, counting 90 measures and then trying to hit a clear, high C… “Ta TAAAAAA!”
David has always been very healing to me. His frequent foot massages helps my head pain disappear for a while. I’m so blessed to have a husband who is so generous with his love to me.
