The Love of My Life

So, I'm taking a break here today to talk about my lovely bride. About 4 1/2 years ago I made the commitment to be her lifelong friend, encourager and lover. It has been great!!! She asked me a question from her women's group on Wednesday mornings the other day, "If there is one thing you could change about me, what would it be?" I laid there in bed thinking for a good couple of minutes, when she said, "Babe, did you hear me?!?" I did hear her, I just couldn't think of anything. When I told her that, she than said, "You can't think of anything because you are tired." HAHA, that is further from the truth. I honestly have thought about the question for almost a week now and cannot think of anything I'd want to change.

Than the the other day I was in the door and saw her book on the dining room table. The title of the book is, What's It Like to Be Married to Me? I simply said aloud, "It's awesome." It took her a moment to catch on to what I was referring to.

So this post is a tribute to the woman that I love. The woman I wouldn't change a thing about. The woman who makes me wish the work day would speed up and the times at home would slow down. The woman who builds me up (and tears me down when needed). The woman that I cannot imagine living without.

Below are some of my favorites photos/memories with Renae:

Wow this is an oldie but a goodie. This was Renae and I about two months before we officially started dating back in 2005.

I have always loved this picture...it was from the same day as the above picture...I couldn't resist ruining the shot!

This was from our first road trip together. I needed a break from school work and so we took the scenic route through VA to visit my family in Asheville, NC

This is from one of our day treks in NC.

This was from our little trip to Gatlinburg, TN. Renae had an obsession with bears when she was younger.

Fast forward to one of the best days of my life.

Picture from our honey moon in Maine, this was taken at Acadia National Park

Another one form the honey moon at Bar Harbor, ME

Enjoying some time in the harbor just realizing that we are going to be together forever.

I miss the summer times and tans.

A little stroll through the fields of West Chester, PA

One of the few shots of Renae that I have where she is just letting lose and having fun being herself.

Being a Lancaster girl, Renae loved the day I asked if she wanted to play with the cows at her parent's neighbors farm.

I was able to have Renae go to NY with me on several occasions with my class trips, so here she got her first real picture with the Statue of Liberty.

Our family moments after Logan's birth! The other greatest day of my life.

This is one of my favorites because I feel that there aren't too many modern photos of the three Crnkovich kids together. This was from one of our summer beach trips/

This was from one of our other family beach trips this past summer...Logan looks so little compared to now!!!

Yes please...I'll take that!

Our first PSU football game...loving the excitement!

Linvilla Orchards...soaking in the fall experiences for the first time with Logan.

Sharing some of her favorite past times with the little man...Lampeter Fair checking out the moo-moos

Apple picking as a family at Highland Orchards in West Chester, PA

I'll end with this fun fall photo from Valley Forge National Historic Park

I couldn't be happier to have Renae as my wife, and as Logan grows older I am sure that he too will agree that Renae is one of the best moms that anyone could ask for. Renae, thank you for blessing our lives. I only hope that we bless yours as much as you do ours!
