Ode to my Wife of 13 Years


OK so I should have written this first, but it is hard to keep up with Jodi. She is always so concerned about making others feel good. I thought it would be fair to have her hear it back at her. I am not very original by doing this, but better than nothing 🙂

We will be married 13 Years tomorrow and it seems just like yesterday, that we were waking up in St. Anthony. I would get up and light a fire in the wood stove while Jodi would fix us a great breakfast, she would even play on the Piano while the food was cooking. I had no clue at the time that she was so talented. She can do anything. Here is just a short list of her many qualities that I adore:

1. She can sing like no other.
2. She can play the Violin by ear, any song you name it she will pick it out.
3. She plays the piano and really sets the mood of the home.
4. She is a great Mom, always reads the kids a story at night.
5. She is consistent you can always count on her.
6. She is loyal I have never had a better friend.
7. She is tolerant even when she shouldn’t be.
8. She is loving to all around her.
9. She is spiritual, I learned while on my mission that she is close to the Lord, by the letters she would write me. Thought I was writing to a GA.
10. She is a full of charity for all around her.
11. She is funny, she can always make me laugh even when I don’t want to.
12. She is selfless, as you can see by her having another baby even though it is very painful on her legs for the whole time.
13. She is Mine, that is the best part of all she is my best friend. And I couldn’t ask for a better one. She is so kind to me and thoughtful, always making sure I am happy. She is why I am the man I am today, she keeps me in tune with the reason we are here.

I Love you Jodi, thanks for being my everything.

Love,

Stephen
