He found himself lost in throws of admiration and kisses afterward.

It means so much to them, to know that they are battling Goliaths, slaying Dragons, and bringing home the bacon. Congratulations to both of you! Overcoming such obstacles and reveling in triumphs truly are team productions. I know I wouldn't be the woman I am without my man, and I think he agrees that he wouldn't be the man he is without me. We're purposefully intended companions. Admiration is key. It means so much to them, to know that they are battling Goliaths, slaying Dragons, and bringing home the bacon.

We're always amazed at his ability to master anything he tries - perfection just runs through his veins, I guess. When Evan comes home with raises, little bonuses, gift cards, etc from his boss (who loves him and thinks he's brilliant) my heart really swells with admiration and love. I don't get to see all the great things he accomplishes at work everyday, and getting glimpses of it is exciting. It's fun to watch each other grow to new heights! Congrats, Dale!

He has been in NM for over 3 months as the rest of the family has been here(he was transferred with his job). We are moving there after my oldest graduates but the time without him has been really hard on both me and the boys. I wrote about 4 pages- my feelings of appreciation of him and all he does for me and the family. I wrote how proud I was of him as he serves our country with honesty and integrity. I wrote about my love for him and how much I miss him. I have told him countless times over these past few months but I felt I needed to write it down so it was documented. He is my hero on so many different levels and in so mnay different areas. Thanks for your post. Just last night I had the impression to journal my feelings about my husband.

Thank you for this post!! And thanks for your compliments. I don't have so much a fantastic marriage as a fantastic husband who makes me look good. :) I'm the luckiest girl and I know it.

As we watched them embark on a journey that we took the first steps of not so long ago ourselves, we began to reflect on the last two years. Marriage requires a heroic team effort. And it's true there is no I in team -- we have to work tirelessly to eradicate selfishness and give ourselves over to the other. Because we're both in school full time, both working part time, both trying to keep up with the whirlwind that seems to blow through our home weekly, and both supporting each other in our "individual" endeavors (though everything we do on our own is for the team), we have to be each other's heroes. Sometimes one is cheerleader; sometimes another. We are often tag-team dragon slayers. We both understand how important our individual goals and dreams are to the overall benefit of the team. I'm glad we have different strengths and weaknesses and that there's two of us so that one is down, the other one can lift. I count my blessings for a husband who works so hard, has such big dreams, and can laugh his way through the murkiest swamp because he has a vision of the castle that lay just beyond the fog. He is a hero and I'm proud to be the heroine at his side. Today Grant and I attended my cousin’s wedding and reception.

Garvin is a SUPER HERO. He has always been one I think, so I can hardly imagine what's become of him NOW through all of this. You two have blessed so many through your untiring love, service, and example for years and years and years. Isn't it amazing how God continues to expand our circle of influence -- ever wider --- as we grow ever wiser. Thank you for sharing so much detail of your journey in faith with all of us. You are in our constant prayers. Mother Smith: There are heroes and there are SUPER HEROES. Garvin is a SUPER HERO.
