Moments before this, all three of us were snuggled up (still at BCL) watching the Olympics. Joshua grabbed my arm and told me I was his favorite girl. Oh, my heart! After lovin' on him a second I told him that I'll enjoy every minute of it while it lasts. He was confused and insisted that I would
always be his favorite girl. I explained to him, reluctantly, that someday he'll meet his wife and that she would then become his favorite girl -- and I'll take a close second. Then he began to cry! "You mean I
have to do this?"....sniff, sniff...."Is that what God
wants me to do?" Oh my. How do you take it from there? Wouldn't I love to always be his favorite girl? My heart bursts with pride at the status I hold with him, but the reality is that I will have to pass my crown on to another sweet girl someday....
Further explanation only made things worse so I conceded, finally, to always be his favorite girl -- for now.

Oh, Jennifer....
too sweet! Its unimaginable to think about our boys growing up and having a wife someday!
that boy is adorable!
Jennifer, glad I found your blog. It'll be fun watching your life from a little closer now, instead of MANY years in between times! Samuel does not want to get married, either.
