I’m looking at pictures from the family trips we’ve taken together & collecting my thoughts about what I want to say here. So a picture is worth a thousand words?? I’m struggling to find just a few of the right ones to describe them…

I remember taking a lot of these photos…I never get tired of looking at these pictures of our kids & how they’ve changed over time. The photos seem to improve as the years go by & I feel like they are a testament of the value you place on family. I appreciate the role you played in bringing our families closer together & for letting me be a part of your kids lives.

Remember the Pecos River fishing trip? I still chuckle when I think about Taylor & Nathan fighting over who was “Captain” while your canoe did 360’s down the river. Hilarious! Taylor playing “Taps” on the harmonica in our tent while Nathan watched with disgusts (really had to be there). I can’t possibly express the richness of the experiences.

I want to thank you again Rusty for the motivation to do these things with our kids & for sharing Nathan & the rest of your family with mine. Your positive attitude & strong spirit will always provide inspiration to me.
