The Big 3-1!

Joe is 31 today. Man, where does time go? We've known each other now for 13 years...how is that possible?! Here's 31 things about Joe that I wouldn't change for the world:

{Sidebar:} When you're saying your prayers tonight, please add Tiffanie & Tony to your list. Sweet Preston is arriving tomorrow morning at 9:30, and he needs prayers to mend his little heart. Tony & Tiffanie are college friends of ours, and I will be at the hospital documenting his arrival. The Lord could not have handpicked a better two for Preston, but all prayers are welcome for their strength and the doctors hands and minds.
