16 years ago, a brutally hot day, I married my best friend, Kimberly Vinal. By the way, I highly recommend doing it that way. We met at Westminster, became friends and just enjoyed each other’s company without the sexual tension. It was only after I realized that I didn’t want to lose this relationship that I began to see her in a new light. Thankfully, she warmed up to the idea after saying no at first to dating the kid she had been hanging out with (I’m 12 years younger).
Its been a wonderful ride thus far. We’ve come a long ways as a couple. We’ve traveled over things like my immature 24 year old stupidity, infertility, 4 moves, my doctoral programs, 2 adoptions, and a host of other things. What do I love about my wife? She has a bad memory for my stupid behavior. She is usually game for adventures. She loves to talk about whatever with me. She has great insights. She works incredibly hard and selflessly so. She’s a great mother. She is a great communicator and bible teacher (better than me!). Oh, and she’s beautiful to boot.
Happy anniversary honey.

This is “cavwife”. Steve didn’t tell me you guys had adopted twice. We are in the process of our first international adoption (China). Really just beginning the process but so excited to give the “cavchild” a sibling.

Great. Adoption is a roller coaster ride, but one worth doing. Lord’s blessings on you!
