My Better Half

This is a photo of my lovely wife, Karmi, and I on our 25th Wedding Anniversary while we were in South Tahoe, California.  Karmi is the absolute love of my life, she is my rock, and next to God I lean on her the most.  One day I was driving down the street and saw the most beautiful girl on the sidewalk.  I told my buddy, “I'm going to marry that girl!”  And I did!
