Ode to my sis, Brittani.

There are infinite reasons why I love my sister. Today I am adding one more reason to that list.
Brittani is one of those people you just can't help but love. She's always so full of life and love, and she's one of the few people in my life that I would do anything for. On her latest trip to Boise, we got into a really good discussion about what our ideal spouse would be like. As I started to mold my 'perfect wife' in my head I quickly realized that all those traits were already being met. Idealistically, she would stand up for what she believes, not just allow my opinion to become hers. I want a wife that has her own opinions. That's Becca! Ideally I want a wife that loves me for me... not for what I can or cannot give her... guess what, yup, right on. And a gazillion other things that the ideal wife should have/be. That's when I realized that I married my ideal wife... it's strange to realize something like that because it changes your entire world. Suddenly God had given me exactly what I asked for. Years of praying actually did pay off. It certainly didn't happen the way I had imagined it would, but isn't that the beauty of life? Change unanticipated. Events unforeseeable. Life unscripted. Welcome to my world, I wouldn't change it for anything!
