Today my sweet wife turns 31 years old. Sunny, I can’t begin to tell you what a blessing you are to my life. I am so thankful that God gave you to me and that He’s blessed our life together in so many ways. You wear so many hats (wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend) and you wear them all so well. Happy Birthday!

This picture is one of my favorites of the two of us. It was taken probably 8 years ago at Impact, a summer camp at Lipscomb. Our dear friend Lucy (who was in our youth group at the time) snapped this candid shot of us in Bison Square. The reason I love this picture is because it captures what I see when Sunny looks at me. I’ve always loved that about her: the look of purity and joy and warmth that I see shining through her. I know I don’t deserve to be looked at by someone so beautiful. But I’m so glad that I have a wife that loves me and sees things in me that nobody else can see. That look right there tells me she loves me, that she believes in me, and I know just how blessed I am to have her in my life.

So happy birthday, Sunny! I hope this year is one of the best years of your life. “Baby, you’re the greatest!”
