Men Are Fabulous!!

Reflection - I attended a wedding this past weekend of a co-worker. The ceremony was outdoors and as I watched the groomsman pause and smile and ascend the stairs it gave me a chance to reflect upon the various roles men have to take on and get very little credit for. No doubt these young men were thinking "This sucks - where is the beer?" However they did exactly what they were told, just as my husbands friends did 13 years ago. I have known the guys in this picture since they were freshman at The Citadel and have had the pleasure of watching them mature from boys to men to husbands and fathers (some of you - still waiting E). Of course I can only speak of my husband, but my guess is that they are pretty much the same way. By now we have lived some of the vows you take on your wedding day - for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others.... When we had children I was the one that stayed home, and for 7 years he had no choice but to go to work, whether he hated it or not. I drive the nicer of our two cars, Chris lets me take a nap every weekend, he always answers the "does this make me look fat" question correctly, he navigates PMS like a pro and never complains that I have two pair of the same shoe. I hope that we raise our son to follow in his father's and "uncles" footsteps and our daughter to find someone with these traits and appreciate the various roles that men have to take on (and remember to give them credit for it).
