Happy Valentines Day!
A great poet once wrote: "Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control." I remember when we first became friends, I was determined not to let myself fall in love. I had grand plans of traveling the world, having amazing adventures, and finding my fortune. I was not going to let anything get in my way. Well, God definitely works in mysterious ways. He knew what I wanted, but had different plans for how I was going to get it. Jessica has blessed my life in more ways than I could have ever hoped for.
We both share a love for travel. Since getting married on May 13, 2006, we have traveled to: Isla Mujeres Mexico, Hawaii, Carlsbad Caverns, and Puerto Rico.
We have experienced many adventures in our travels together, but the greatest adventure I must say is that of our son Aidan. He has been such a blessing in both of our lives. I can’t say that it hasn’t been challenging, but he brings so much light and joy into our lives.
Jessica has also helped me in my path towards finding my fortune. Since getting married, I have set personal goals and have gone back to school to become a pharmacist. I was accepted into the LECOM School of Pharmacy starting in August 2008! I have also realized that the greatest fortune that I could ever have is that of loving, and be loved. What a wonderful blessing it is to be married to the love of your life!
Jessica has all of the qualities that I could have ever hoped for in a wife. She is beautiful, sexy, loving, kind, thoughtful, supportive, loyal, intelligent, and an AMAZING dancer! Jessica is such an incredibly sweet girl, I sometimes think to myself, “What did I do to deserve her?”
After much thoughtful consideration of why God has blessed my life so greatly brings me to the only possible conclusion, as articulated by President Hinckley, “well, you must have helped an old lady cross the street in the pre-existence, it isn’t anything you’ve done here.”
I therefore declare for all the world to hear that I LOVE JESSICA and that I am forever grateful to have her in my life!!
With all my love,
Rich

That was sooo sweet! I still remember the first time I heard about you, Jessica...Richard and I had just finished running when you called him. His face lit up and I knew right away that he was smitten! Thanks for making him so happy!
That is way romantic...I hope Richard "Rich" always remembers how much we girls like romance! You are both blessed to have each other (and Aidan)!
How sweet! I love the quote at the beginning!!
"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control."
My husband always worried when we first started dating because he looked nothing like any of my previous boyfriends...they all had a similar type...BUT he was (and is) who I love!!
