Ridgell's Originals

 So Tim is having a birthday tomorrow and here are a few of the reasons I love him and am proud he became my son when he married our Julie.

Tim is a hard worker.  Runs his own business, Cope Trucking and Construction.  Takes care of their house and yard.  Helps out his folks.  And his kids.  Helps out us.  Helps friends and neighbors.  I don't think we have ever asked Tim for help and had him say no.  In fact, most of the time we don't even ask.  He sees things that need doing and does them.

He loves his family.  Tim got the whole family package when married Julie.  He got in-laws.  And he got two teenagers.  And he loves all of us.

Which leads to this.  Tim loves our Julie.  I never realized what a comfort and joy it is to know that your daughter has someone who loves her and will take care of her.  

Tim loves Ridgell Ranch.  Truth be told, he runs our ranch.  Does most of the work, manages the cows.  Handles the hunting day to day work.  Loves the cows, the deer, and hates the hogs.  

Tim is a man of faith.  He is a good husband, a good Dad and grandparent, and a good son.

We are blessed that God put him and Julie together.  

So God, thanks for Tim.  Bless him and bless he and Jules for a long time.
