Mike,

I would have never imagined the boy I fell in love with at 13 would be my husband and best friend. Through the years I have watched you change from a 16-year-old boy to a 34-year-old man, we have been through the world together and came out on top. I know life has always been hard for us but just look at how far we have came. I know at times we wanted to give up but I am so glad we didn't take the easy way out. You are an awesome provider, thank you for taking such good care of me and the kids. I look forward to growing old with you and following our dream to traveling to Europe. Thank you for loving me all these years and for years to come. I love you!!

Love,

Courtnee
