Eric

Happy Valentine's Day! I have been planning for some time to pay a special tribute to my dear sweet husband on this day, but now that it's here I can't find the right words. I met Eric when he was 17 years old. His interests included volleyball and volleyball. Not being very athletic myself and not looking much like a volleyball, I worked hard the first couple of months to get his attention. When we finally started dating in January of 1992 we found that we did have some common interests such as music, movies and food. Most importantly we discovered that we shared the same faith in Jesus Christ. Eric is kind and respectful. He's a hard worker, and he always plays fair. He is the smartest person I know and yet he never comes across as a know it all. It's nearly impossible to beat him at a game of strategy, if there's an element of luck involved one might possibly stand a chance. He is friendly and out going, but when we met I thought he was quiet and shy. He still loves to play volleyball as well as softball, but his favorite activity now is geocaching which for us is a family sport. He loves to go out hiking in the woods searching for the treasure at the end of each journey, but he always waits for the times when the kids are out of school and we can all go together. Eric gets involved in the community by volunteering to help with special groups and activities at church, work and school. He is a faithful, loving, devoted husband and father. I could write volumes about this friend who is also my sweetheart but this summary will have to do for now; I want to go spend some time with my Valentine. I love you Eric! ♥
