its me, Mark…

So, as you all know, Candice is the one who usually writes the blog posts.  Well, today you get me (Mark).  Last weekend Candice, while being FULL TERM!!, shot and amazing wedding. In the VIDEO you will see she is still being her “sneaky” self. When she stands up on the seat of the car you will see her look over her shoulder to make sure the driver has turned his head, so she can get that “perfect” shot. The reason why I wanted to write today is to speak up about my feelings about becoming a dad, and starting a “real” family with my amazing wife!

There are so many stages of emotions that I have gone through in this short 9 months.  I am absolutely FREAKED stoked out of my mind to meet me baby boy.  Just about every day I think about what values, morals, and personality  I am going to pass on to him.  but, rather than talk about  the things that sort of scare me I thought I would write a letter to my son & wife.

To My amazing wife:

I love you. I am so proud of all you have endured during this pregnancy, from the crazy emotions to the fact that you have a little person growing in your tummy.  I love you so much!   I remember, like it was yesterday, when we were 15 years old; and we met for the first time.  You were like no one I had ever known.  You still are like no one I have ever known… I like that.  Now, we are going to be parents!!  You are going to be the best mom that wyatt could ask for.   I will be there to support and encourage you every step of the way, as we raise our son.  I love you so so much, and my eyes fill with tears thinking about how much you love me.  I did not think that i could love you any more than I did, but seeing that love that you have for our son makes me explode with love for you.

Love, Mark

To my son, Wyatt,

I have not even met you yet and I love you more than I could have ever known. It is only a mater of time until i get to hold you! :)  :)  :)  I can’t wait to see you crawl, walk, and  talk. I will be there to help and love  you when you hurt as well as when you are happy. I am so excited to have a list of memories as long and your mother and I have.  you are so amazing, and wonderful. You bring an unreal amount of joy to my heart.  I can’t wait to teach you how to treat a lady, and be a man of God, and grow up to have a family of your own one day.

p.s. please don’t think that I am weird for taking 1,000,000,000 pictures of you as you grow up. :)

p.p.s. you have no idea how many adventures we will go on + how awesome you already are in my eyes

Love, Your father

September 15, 2009 - 3:47 pm Brittany Kalter {Britt Productions} - Oh my goodness! I totally just teared up in a MAJOR way right now. Reading your letters to both your wife and son brought a bunch of emotions out of me. They were beautiful. You see, the secret to these hidden emotions is due to the fact that both my husband and I just found out that we're having a little baby too! We're BEYOND excited. (Plus, I think we have a bit in common). Nestor and I met in High School when I was 14 years old! ;) Congrats to you and your new little family. I totally know how you feel because I feel the same way about my husband and new addition to our family!

September 15, 2009 - 8:44 pm Cat - This is one of the most beautiful letters I have read in a long time.It is so amazing to read how parenthood makes people feel,I don't know you guys and I can clearly see that you are going to be awesome parents. I brought a tear to my eye to see how in love you guys are and the support you are offering each other. My husband and I have always felt that we would never be ready to bring a life into this world, but after reading this I now believe that we are destined for this. Your words give me the reassurance that even though it might be scary at times, it is also one of the most amazing things that could happen to you..... Congratulations!
