Happy Valentine's Day!

This is Tim, I'm secretly doing this post to wish Shelbie a Happy Valentine's Day. I know it's a few days early, but, for those of you who don't know, Shelbie is due with baby #2 today! So, I don't know if I'll have a chance to do this by the real Valentine's Day. I'm not a big fan of this holiday, but I'm definitely a huge fan of Shelbie.

Shelbie and I met first when an institute teacher at UVU tried to set us up, but it didn't work out. We were then set up on a blind date about 3 months later by my cousin Ashley Garlock. These first two pictures are from our dating days, the first was at an aquarium in Colorado where I took Shelbie to meet Cami and Brandon. The second is in California with my mom and dad. My parents have always loved Shelbie since day one, especially my mom (that's a great relief to a momma's boy like me).
Shelbie and I were married in the St. George temple on June 10th, 2006. Shelbie has been the greatest decision in my life and a day rarely passes that I think about how much she has changed me for the good. I can contribute so much of who I am to her. It doesn't seem possible at the time of marriage, but my love for Shelbie has increased so much, and, even though it might not seem possible, I imagine that it will still continue to grow.
Hudson has come into our lives and Shelbie's mother skills have really impressed me. She's been such an amazing mom that we really should have about 12 more kids, except I don't know how I'd handle that without a reality show to pay for them all!

I love you so much Shelbie and I know I'm so lucky to have you as my wife and eternal companion. Happy Valentine's Day babe! I should be scared to have another child, but not with you taking care of them... and me!

P.S. I am PRAYING like crazy for that baby to come today so his middle name can be ASHER after his favourite aunt Ashleigh

So sweet! I always say that I if I got to hand pick a sister-in-law, it would be Shelbie. She really is so great and we love you both! Still holding our breath for baby:)

Tim, you are awesome - how sweet! And, Shel, we love you, he is right about all he wrote!
It's always fun to hear people talk about their spouses like that. Not something you hear every day from them, I love being reminded of how much in love each couple is!
Can't wait to meet this sweet baby already!

Kudos Tim for taking the leap to tell us your thoughts. Thanks for setting the standard; let's see if the other husbands follow. Shelbie is a catch and loved by everyone. And let's not forget what a "keeper" you are.

I have been thinking of Shelbie and can't wait to see the baby.

You guys are a perfect couple!

Well this is Dad and I want to make it clear that when Tim said his parents love Shelbie, especially his Mom, that doesn't mean I don't love her just as much! I just can't compare to Judy's way of showing love (who can?)

Charity said...

That was the most awesome thing to write to Shelbie, Tim!

That was so sweet! I have never seen a wedding picture, and I am in love with your dress! I know it's kinda late-but you were a gorgeous bride. Good luck with the delivery-i'm sure you've had the baby by now!
