The Janes that I love

Sharing our cake

Today marks a special day in our lives - our four year wedding anniversary. Our wedding was such a special, personal day. Rebecca and I put together every word by word ourselves. It was very not cooke-cutter, it was personal in every sense of the word. I wish I could share it again, every year. The day was full of love. Love between us, between friends, family and everyone.

Today on my way home I thought about all of the "different" Janes I love.

In front of Ted's Montana Grill

Jane the wife.

I love the ease you bring to our marriage. You make our relationship work and you make it super easy to love you.

In class with Arden and Michelle

Jane the student.

You are such a strong student. I am mesmerized by how much you enjoy doing that "class" thing every day. You do it with such vigor. I know it overwhelms you sometimes, but you never let it keep you down long. You're such a smart, determined student.

At Monster Crash with Erin, Charlie and Arden

Jane the friend.

You do such an amazing job being the glue, common thread between all of your friends. You are always willing to lend a hand, and try to make peace when its needed. I love that you have such close friends that bring out the best in you and you the best in them.

Jane the employee.

I love that you are a caring, unselfish employee. Your peers, managers, and administrators all attest that you are a friend to all. I am jealous of the friendly relationship you created with everyone at Wellstar. It is a testament of your work that they all beg you to come back and stay in touch a year after leaving. I know Wellstar is a better place for everyone because of the work you did. I hope you know that.

Rachel, Jane, Nana, Ellen

Jane the family woman.

The amount of time and love you put into your family has always been an attribute I appreciate. You are the one they all depend on for certain things and you never let them down. I've enjoyed becoming a part of your family and you becoming an integral part of mine.

Our Doggy Christmas Card '09

Jane the doggy-mommy.

I love the way you have tried to make the dogs a part of everything we do and love. I know they appreciate the care and love you give them. You are such a great mother to them!

Joe and Jane in Michigan

Jane the mommy-to-be.

The newest Jane is one of my favorites, Jane the mommy-to-be. You have been such a trooper the past 28 weeks. You are the most beautiful pregnant woman and have the biggest heart I've ever gotten to known. Grayson feels your love so much now and will feel it even more when he arrives. The importance you place on everything we do/buy for Grayson affirms that you are going to be an a amazing Jane the mommy!

There are many other Janes in my life and I love all of them. These are just the ones I can think of.

Love you baby and Happy Anniversary!
