Paul is Amazing. Those of you who know him, already knew that I'm sure. :-) We were able to celebrate his "birthday weekend" this past weekend because he had off from work, and what a wonderful weekend it was. He has been working so hard on the farm lately (early days, long hours, and no days off) and this past weekend we were able to just relax, get some things done around the house and celebrate! I could go on and on and on about all the good attributes of Paul and why I love him, but I just wanted to point out some of the things that I've been super appreciative of him lately.
Paul is the most ambitious learner that I know. First, he is constantly in the word of God striving to be a better man after God's own heart and a better servant to others. There isn't a day where he isn't in the word, researching different topics discussed in sermons, or doing something to bring him and our family closer to God. He is also constantly reading books about being a better person, a leader, friend, husband, and business owner. Then after reading them, he takes notes on them to remind himself of what he read. He is also ALWAYS studying dairy and farming. You would think that after a hard days work, one would sit down and just relax for the night, but not Paul. He'll go and pick up one of his millions of pamphlets or books on farming and read about it. Then he'll analyze it and take notes on it. Or he'll go on the computer or to a note pad and type up what he learned for that day or where he can improve in different areas at work and in life. He'll write down questions to ask his mentors and make sure he is understanding everything that is going on at the farm. He's always checking himself making sure he's growing, making sure he's learning, making sure we are meeting our goals and setting new goals and not wasting a single moment. Why does he do all that? Because he has a big God-given dream that is always stirring his heart. I'm so grateful that he won't let it just die out because it seems too big or impossible, nope, he's a lion-chaser and I love it and am truly thankful. There is no doubt in my mind that this man has a great and wonderful future that will impact so many people for the better. I feel so blessed and thankful to be at his side cheering him on. I'm so thankful that I have this man to lead my family. He is a man who stands on principle and the truths of the Bible. He is already the best husband ever and I love him more and more everyday--I know he'll be the best dad ever to our kids and I'm so excited to see where he leads us in the future!
