Meet Uncle Mike!!

Today I'm linking up with Kelly at Kelly's Korner for "Show Us Your Singles" Day!

Meet Uncle Mike!!!

Mike has been one of my husband's closest friends for a LONG time!!
 He is kind, loyal and has a great sense of humor!!  He is very selfless and is always helping others-- when Raleigh Grace was born he was always asking what he could do for us and how he could help- he is one of those people who will drop his life for you- seriously!  

Speaking of Raleigh Grace, he is WONDERFUL with kids!! He has a younger sister who is 8 years younger than him and he helped to raise her.  He has always loved kids.  When Raleigh Grace was just a few months old he asked if he could be "Uncle Mike" to Raleigh Grace.  Of course that melted my heart and he is now Uncle Mike for sure! Not only does he love her but she LOVES him as well!

Mike, on top of all of his awesome traits, has a personal, strong, relationship with Jesus Christ and that is evident in his life.  

When I asked K (my hub's) to describe Mike he said that he is "genuine, country and confident."  He loves the outdoors and enjoys fishing, camping, hiking and backpacking.  He is an Eagle Scout and still enjoys helping younger kids at camp in the summer's.  On top of all of that he still likes to go out with friends and have a good time too.
Oh and as an added bonus he also plays the guitar! ;)

Mike, My Father-in-law (holding RG), my hubby K and my brother- all Boy Scouts!

and if this isn't the sweetest pic of Mike and K walking Raleigh Grace, I don't know what is...!!

Feel free to email me or leave me a comment... but please PLEASE do not get discouraged if things do not work out this time. Let God be your comforter--He is good (all the time) and he has a GREAT plan for your life...
Jeremiah 29:11

Baylor is the oldest university in Texas

Baylor University is a Baptist University and really focuses on spiritual growth and involvement (Sic Em!)

Sic Em Bears... form your hand like a bear claw- hold it boldly in the air and slightly shake it to scare off the opponets (while saying ahhhh) then bring the claw across your body as to tear out the heart of the opponent and then bring it back up in the air to display to the world!   (while saying SIC EM BEARS!) 

 

Baylor Sing-- school wide talent show... AMAZING is an understatement! 

Dia-Del-Oso! a day in the spring where we have the day off school and have a "field day" ... its pure greatness!

Going to Baylor was one of the best decisions that I have ever made! I have so much love for this place! I wasnt sure that I wanted to stay in TX for college but after visiting BU I just knew- it was like the second I stepped foot on campus my decision was made! The campus has beautiful live oaks throughout the campus with wooden swings hanging from them.  The campus is a walking campus and the bells that ring from the tower every 15 minutes can be heard throughout most of campus.  Not only did I grow as a person while I was in school there but I also grew spiritually, got a great education and made some of the best friends!! 

(there are sooo many other great things about this school and I highly recommend it! Check it out at www.baylor.edu!)

I can not praise this amazing university enough!

 

Sic Em Bears!!!!
