I realized the other day that I've been blogging
for a year and half now-and although I've mentioned
hubby in many posts-and I've often joked about us being
TOTAL opposites-I've never
really given you an 'in depth' look at one of the
most important people behind me and this blog!
The truth is- if not for Michael's (aka hubby) patience, skill,
support and insight, many of the projects I post about here
on the blog, would never have been completed-nor, would
I have ever been able to take on the ENORMOUS job of
fixing up our 100+ year old home.
But to be fair-there is more to this smiling face than just
putting up with my inept carpentry skills and endless list
of projects!
First and foremost- Michael is a dad.
There is NOTHING more important than his kids...
And finding ways to spend more time with them-(no matter what that involves)
means the world to him.
He's also a grandpa-and though it's a new title(7 months)-I think he's
a natural!
This saying couldn't be more true when it comes to
Michael. I feel blessed every day that he was raised by
such as a strong, vibrant and amazing woman, like
Mom L! If not for her-he would never have become
the man he is today.
Together they have
endured some very difficult-life changing losses.

The first occurred when Michael was only three years old.
It was then that doctors found a tumor in his left eye. Unfortunately,
the only option back then was to remove the eye-and replace
it with a ocular prosthetic(artificial eye).

Hubby is now 55 years old-and if you asked him today
if he ever felt having sight in only one eye was
a handicap-he would offer a resounding 'NO!'
In fact he's never considered it an obstacle at all-since
he enjoyed playing all sports, racing cars, and of course
riding his motorcycle.
guy-feels most at peace. It is on these rides (whether I'm along or not)
that he shares his troubles, joys and thoughts with his dear
sister, who passed away in a car accident, over thirty years ago.
man for over twenty years-and I feel completely blessed
that he chose to take the journey of marriage with me four and a
half years ago.
there are good times and bad, but the future
looks pretty amazing on the horizon, and we can't
wait to see what comes next!
I hope you enjoyed this up close and personal look at the man in my life- and
behind this blog. I plan on sharing more about the VERY special
folks in my life, in future posts.
Blessings and hugs,
Very sweet. All the best to both of you.
