All right Susan I don't know what you are trying to pull here but I already have a cold and now my nose is really running! Such personal, touching journaling! I love the corrugated letters too. BEAUTIFUL!!
This has brought tears to my eyes... what a beautiful and touching LO!!! Please give that man a big hug for me for being such a wonderful guy to my wonderful friend!!!
WOW!!!! This is so touching, Susan!! I LOVE the layout- the entire page is beautiful, but the journaling is what "makes" this!!!!!! This is soooo sweet!!!!
Your journaling is so heartwarming with both pain and happiness. Can't even imagine what it must have been like to become a widow at thirty with 3 kids! It sure sounds like Butch is your rock and he must be so touched by this beautiful tribute! Had to dry a few tears when reading this!
Awwww, wow Susan your journaling is so beautiful and heartwarming!!! What a special tribute this page is to your man, I'm sure he must have been deeply touched as well when he read this!!
This is great! Love the picture of butch - you know he doesn't look a whole lot different than he did when you married! He is a great guy! He's the only uncle my kids have ever been close to! They always loved it so much when we would come down when they were little, because Butch always played with them and spent time with them! He really is a great guy! Wonderful journaling - made my cry - and you know how hard that is! LOL!
Just wonderful Susan. You are so fortunate to have each other and I'm so happy for you both. A very good design for the tribte - love the masculine colors and title.

My DH, Butch...Just a small tribute to the man who has been my "other" half for almost 27 years! This is for the September Embellies Challenge - J=bling (Heart), K= Kraft Paper (background), and L = letter stamps (THIS). Journaling is rather long..but if you really want to know...here's what I said....
This man has been my husband and has stood by my side for the past 26 ½ years. We’ve shared love, laughter, tears, and sorrows together. On April 11, 1981, we stood before the minister and repeated our vows. I remember standing there that day and thinking… “What am I doing? Is this the right decision for me and my children? Will he love me and my children enough?” Now, as I look back, I realize that those are questions I should have had answers to before we reached the altar, but I was a thirty year old widowed mother of three small children (ages 2, 4, and 6). At that point in my life, I wanted someone who would make me feel special, and at the same time, someone who would love my children as much as I did. I can’t honestly say that I married Butch for all the right reasons. Yet, 26 ½ years later, I know that God had a plan for my life, and Butch was part of that plan. We’ve had good times, bad times, and times I’d just as soon forget…but through it all, Butch has been there for me, and for my three children….always. When we married, Butch’s sons had been on their own for several years. He had raised a family. Then he met me…and was willing to do it all over again. Amazing! I guess raising a second family was often very difficult for him, but he never complained. He started all over again…changing diapers, playing games, cooking meals, washing clothes…the list goes on and on. He supported my desire to go to college. For seven long years, I attended college to get my bachelor’s degree. His love and devotion never faltered. He was THERE for me whenever I needed him. He was there when my children (and if he is asked…they are “our” children) graduated from high school. He was there when they graduated from college. He was there to walk the girls down the aisle when they were married. He’s helped them move, taken care of the grandchildren, and worked on their cars. To my children, he is Daddy. Through all of our ups and downs, he has been there to hold my hand and dry my tears. All the children are grown, married, and out on their own. It’s just the two of us now. He is still there for me. I cannot imagine what my life would have been like if Butch had not become part of our family. I love him more today than I would have ever thought possible on the day we were married. He was, is, and always will be my love, my husband, and my best friend. I Love You, Butch.
