My Wonderful Wife...


My wife is the most amazing person I know. She has been such a help to me and all the while she has done so much. Here’s a glimpse of what she has done. Yeah I am bragging on my wife because very few people can say they have done these things and even if they have, they couldn’t do them this good!

1. She continues to be (and always will be) the love of my life… =)
2. She brought into this world our wonderful little Addison even though we were in and out of the hospital almost weekly at times. She always stayed strong.
3. She is raising our little Addison and I don’t think there could be a better mother for our little punkin!
4. She continues to stand with me and support me through medical school.
5. She has helped to bring others to Christ!
6. She worked periodically while we were in school so we could have money to live on. (my “sugar mama”)
7. She completed a 4 year pre-law degree in a very rigorous program, while working, while pregnant, and with a baby!!!
8. She graduated on May 9, 2009 with her Bachelors of Arts degree with multiple Honors.
9. She is/was the president of the largest honors society on her college campus, for two years.
10. She was a college senator and helped change her university in various ways.
11. She successfully tried a mock case before a judge and won the case by a landslide…because she’s THAT good.
12. She has continuously found ways to buy and sell our way into things that we like and can enjoy. (i.e. our TV!)

Hannah is not one to blow her own horn or to brag about herself and since many people have no clue as to what she has done or accomplished or even what her degree is in, I thought it was about time people heard a little bit about what her last four or so years we like.

Hannah has always aspired to greater things. She left Dothan, AL to come to Auburn to be a pre-med student and probably go to medical school. Well once we met she decided that one doctor was enough and when we got married we both worked until we moved for my school. She then went back to school to finish her degree. She was an education major at the time. She excelled at her educations classes but….she needed something different. She took a legal class and found that this was really interesting and pretty difficult at the same time but she enjoyed the challenge it presented. That’s when she changed majors and became a pre-law student. She never looked back and worked her way up to being one of the star students in her program. Many students wash out of this program but Hannah excelled. She was a member of multiple honors societies and college organizations. She was even elected president of the largest honors society on campus for two years. She then decided she could make a difference on campus and became a college senator. So four years later she has an excellent degree and will no doubt blow away the Law School Acceptance Test (LSAT) and become an excellent lawyer. When will she enter law school? We aren’t sure yet. We are both juggling family and our careers and when the time is right she’ll enter law school and be ready to save my hide from trouble!

Yeah I can brag about my wonderful wife because this weekend was “her weekend”. She graduated on the 9th and her first Mother’s Day was on the 10th.

Congrats on graduating and Happy Mothers Day! I love you!
