Here he is!

This slide show is dedicated to my sweet hubby - Happy Birthday! I had a lot of fun making this. First off, I figured out how to use my scanner for the first time! Then I got to dig thru my box of photos - so many I had so totally forgotten about - it is way past time to scrapbook! And I realized that we don't have that many pictures of Rick and the kids! Shame on us - but now I know to take more of those!
And the music to the slideshow - what can I say. I love Alan Jackson and this is one of "our" songs. I tell Rick that I want him to sing this to me at our 50th wedding anniversary party. I get tears in my eyes every time I hear it. And it was so perfect this morning - as I was up making him breakfast in bed - German pancakes - this song came on the radio! I ran in the bedroom and turned it on in there for him and cuddled up with him for a minute. My picture selection of his younger years was very limited - but I had a lot of fun looking thru his mission pictures and all the pictures of us as we were dating. And I had to put in the one with him and my Cousin Kristina on his shoulders - if not for her driving my car in the ditch, we never would have met! :) Ideally, the music would have fit the pictures, but I am out of time and it just didn't happen, so here it is - hope you enjoy!

How beautiful! We just heard that song on the radio ourselves. We love that song too. You are one lucky lady to have such a great hubby. And remember, he is one lucky man to have such a great wife!
