My Man

Kevin amazes me.

He is the kind of person that knows about everything. I don't know where or how or when he learned it all, but he did.
Here are some examples:
1. Most people can get on a waverunner and drive it around a lake. They know how to turn it on, and how to drive it around. Kevin knows all kinds of details about how you should drive it in order to take good care of the engine. If the motor starts making a particular sound he can tell you what's wrong with it by the sound alone (besides the fact that he could pull the thing apart and most likely fix it on his own).
2. Most people can replace an outlet cover in their house. Kevin can replace all of the wiring from the outlet into the attic, then down to the fusebox in the basement.
3. My sister's car got flooded with water in a big storm we had last week. She gets on the phone with Dad to ask what to do. I stand around Kevin asking what I can do. Kevin immediately goes for a wet/dry vac, scoops the standing water out of the car, pulls out the mats, and sets up fans to blow on it all night. (This one seems like common sense, and yet he just always knows what to do...).
4. At the demolition derby he can look down (from the top of the stands) at all those beat up crazy painted cars and tell me what model and year they all are. If one starts smoking from the engine he leans over to me and says, "He blew his head gasket." He knows why they have really small wheels on the back tires (to help them cut into the mud). Who knows all that?

These are just a couple examples of things that happen everyday. People are always asking for his help or opinion. It makes me so proud of him. How beautiful it is to be married to someone who I can admire and be so proud that I am his wife.

Although I'm sure Kevin will tell you he learned everything he knows from his mom :) :) :) :), I too am amazed at all he knows and can do.
