HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXIS "PAUL" RODRIGUEZ

Tomorrow, 1/6/ is Alex's birthday so I thought I would give him a little birthday tribute!

It has been almost 5 years that we have been together and it really feels like yesterday. I was not looking for anyone when I met Alex, I truly believe that God brought him to me. We have a unique story that I won't re-hash since most of you reading this already know. I knew that I wanted to marry Alex the minute I saw him. He took my breath away and he was really the first guy that I was ever nervous around or was smitten by his looks. We used to call it nervous butterflies (Ahhh)! Once we started talking it was a done deal-it just took him a while to tell me...or should I say several rounds! I will never forget the first time he told me that he liked me, asked me to be his valentine or told me that he loved me. Those memories are all clear as day for me even 5 years later. I love him more than anything and cannot imagine how my life would ever be without him. He is the most amazing Father, he does just as much with and for Aaron that I do and not all Dad's are that way. He is patient and kind, strong and gentle, warm and loving. He is considerate and passionate and down right the most amazing man that I have ever known. He never puts himself first. It is always us or someone else that he cares about that he is thinking about or doing something for. He loves his family with all of his being and cares for his friends in a way that is priceless. He treasures family and friends like no other man I have ever known. Again, I will say that God brought him to me and that I will forever be thankful to Him for the gift of Alex in my life.

One thing I will admit is that I had to go back, way back, to get some of these pictures. It is typically one of us behind the camera so there are almost no shots of us since Aaron was born. So, along with his really romantic gift of a turkey fryer I also vow to make sure that there are more Amy and Alex pictures this year and all of those after.
