I know everyone thinks their loved ones are beautiful.  We all can find beauty in anyone or in anything we choose.  As expressed before, I am a hopeless romantic.  I believe in soul mates and also love at first sight.  I believe in true love and also in lasting love. I am not sure everyone, for whatever reason, is always lucky enough to find all or any of those things.  Or, if they do, it might not be the “right” time.  It may have taken me a long time but I was finally lucky enough to have found my love.  I can still remember seeing him walk into that restaurant where we met over twelve years ago.  I think my husband is the most handsome man I have ever laid eyes on.  He is tall, slender, smart, witty, has an incredible head of thick hair, full lips, deep, dark eyes, and dimples which, when combined with everything else, I find too much to resist.  He also has the finest speaking voice I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.  If all that weren’t enough, he wanted to marry ME.  And that stunning little girl sitting on his lap is all ours.  They say good things come to those who wait.  The father of natural history in Britain and Anglican priest John Ray once said, “Beauty is power; a smile its sword.”  I can say that these two have effortlessly and forever conquered my heart with their smiles — my beautiful family.
