I am grateful for Jake. Family is important to Jake and loves me and the kids more than words can express. He encourages me to be better and lets me be me.
He supports me in some of my crazy ideas, such as but not limited to, running for school board-OH BOY-that was an adventure, encouraging me to volunteer, having thanksgiving dinner a week earlier JUST SO WE CAN celebrate it with the kids, working with me to get my WA teaching certificate JUST IN CASE I want to go back into the classroom, to even discussing the idea of going back to school to finish my master degree.
He not only supports me but the kids. Often times I find him in Lydia’s room spending time with her as she is drawing, while quietly slipping into sleep, or taking time to jam with Lydia and encourages her to be the best she can be no matter what she is doing, to playing video games or wrestling on the floor with Leo because the other kids are doing their own things. I often see him sitting beside Toby and/or August while they are frustrated with their school work and teaching them and encouraging them. To listening to August talk about Magic or his latest book he just read and all the many fun facts he has learned, to playing legos with Toby and making silly lego creations just to make him smile and laugh. I couldn’t have asked for a better man. He makes me and our family a priority.
He is truly my best friend and as time goes on I find that we are getting even closer. I am very grateful to him and all he does for me and our family.
