I recently posted 11 things I learned recently while on a trip with my wife.
Here (on our actual 15th anniversary) are –
15 Things I Already Knew About My Wife
1. She’s an awesomely talented soprano.
2. She’s more organized than me, and I’m fairly organized.

5. She is very interested in the state of our children’s hearts.

Great list man. I love seeing/hearing other men brag on their wife! You’re wife is pretty bigtime from what I know of her. I’m curious to try these brownies.
I’m a little confused about #’s 3 and 12. Perhaps you could explain those.
Also, what are your thoughts on having a large family? Do you think this is something for all people, or just those called to that? I’m curious what you’re instilling into your children that they desire large families. Do they all desire large families?
PS – I was in GM last weekend, it was beautiful…thought of you when I drove past Cascade.

#3 – reading it now, I think I should have said “She is the one in our marraige who likes to begin things. I’m always hesitant.
#12 – things I can’t say in public, especially on a family blog.
As far as big families go, I would say if the Wife is for it, the Husband should be willing. But you need the wife to want it. Debbie would say it’s God’s will that everyone trust him. Which means to not try to prevent pregnancy.
And regarding GM – you are a lucky duck.
