Steve I loved your video. Good stuff! Tell Erica she is so so so young. Tell her to imagine this for instance. In 1978, I was a Freshman in H.S. My future wife (your sister was 5 years old) HA! So tell her don’t be blue, I’m the oldie around here. Love you man, miss ya’ll much.

GO COCKS!
Honey, thanks for making me younger than I really am. I was NOT five years old in 1978, but you just got some points for that mistake!!! love ya
Great video Steve – I am sure this helped Etica enjoy her 30th Birthday as she saw all the beautiful events of her life and could see how blessed she has been. The years ahead will only get better – Steve – I am sure doing this video was great fun for you as you visually saw how blessed you are to have such a great wife. God is so God to bring her into your life – you are so blessed – what a wonderful Godly wife she is. This video reminded me of the one you made awhile back called
“Mommy – Mommy – Mommy-
Love you all so much.
LOVED the video Steve! What a wonderful gift. Most people don’t get to see their life set to music like that unless it’s a rehersal dinner video!
I loved it and loved seeing those great pics of Erica from day one ’til now. Thanks for sharing!
