Thankful for YOU Tuesday!

So I am not very good with words...not very good at at all.

I am envious of people who can talk beautifully and have all the right words to say. I talk too fast, I mumble, I am sometimes hard to understand... but I mean well!

I have been convicted lately that I need to bless my friends and family with affirmations, something that I need to work on.

I love people... lots of people... and I am not good at letting them know that. I'm sorry!

So I want to start affirming my friends and family every Tuesday. I want you all to know that I love you and am so thankful for you. I might not tell you verbally that I think you are awesome, so here is my chance. :)

Who to start with????

Let's start with one of my eight awesome brother-in-laws...

Mr. Matt Johnson

Dear Matt,

I first heard about you dating my sister back in ...well...was that 2003? I was living in New Mexico at the time and was so excited to meet you. I first met you when you came home from Iowa with Rebekah and came to see me at Wilson Toyota. I liked you right away.

You made me laugh, and still do today.

I love bragging that you were Herky at the University of Iowa. So cool. :)

You meshed so well with our family. I barely remember our lives without you.

Thank you for marrying my sister who loves you, thank you for being an awesome Daddy to my sweet nephews, and thank you for being my cuddle partner and back-rubbing buddy.

I think you are awesome.

I love you

Rachel
