The Man

Jake and I celebrated our one year anniversary on Dec. 30 but we were on the road. I just want to take a few lines to tell how much my husband rocks. Some qualities that come to mind when I think about Jake are humble, committed, compassionate, tender, intelligent, goofy/funny/witty, handy, honest, provider (maybe not economically since he is in school again but every other aspect), manly (as in the true essence of manhood not the chauvinistic pig type) and cool. I forgot talented as well. Jake has this cool factor about him that I think he is totally unaware of. He has a great taste in music, he has great style (not that it is important), he has super cool random knowledge/facts, reads cool books and has the best taste in movies (minus one, Evolution) and he has super cool interest and likes radicool activities. Enough about the temporal. The whole time I have known Jake I have never seen him tell a lie or turn down the opportunity to serve another. When we were dating I wondered about his spirituality because he didn't wear it on his sleeve like a lot of Mormon schmucks do. I wondered how he felt about the church, his Priesthood and his testimony. As I watched Jake's actions all doubt was gone and I saw a beautiful human being. The most beautiful I have ever know. He was honest in all his actions and words, he served others so humbly and especially me. He never asked for anything in return just did kind acts for others because it was innate to him. As I come to know him more and more he amazes me each day (really!). I am grateful for him and his love and our marriage. He is a wonderful husband, brother, son and friend.
