Thank You (by Kip)

Well I am back from the sprawling metropolis that is Stanley, Idaho. I can't believe how much that place grows from year to year. Another 7 or 8 decades and it will begin to rival cities like Banks, Lowman or dare I say even Idaho City. But that is the way we like it, the less people the more fish for us to catch and release. Though I love my family and I have a great time while I am up there I am glad to be home and by Christie's side again. I missed her very much and I would like to extend a very heart felt thanks to all of you who helped her get by while I was gone. I had no doubt though, she is a very strong woman and I am greatful for that for those times when I am not. I have read all the extremely nice things she has written about me in our blog so far and please allow me to set the record straight once and for all. Take everything she has said about me and multiply it by 100 and that is a beginning of how wonderful a person she is. I would not be half the husband or man that I am today if not for Christie, she is the whole reason I strive to be such a nice and loving person. So please know that I am humbled by her comments but more importantly know that she is the true saint and rock of this relationship and I love her dearly for that.
