Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you, my darling bride. People, this is my bride, Linda. Linda, this is the world. =:)

Unfortunately for Lynn, she married a real geek (that’s me). Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s good sides and bad sides to that. Good sides being that I’m devilishly handsome, quick-witted, smarter than a box of hammers, and vastly rich. *snicker* Bad sides being that I’m occasionally less than clueful about putting my darling bride at the top of my list where she belongs. We’ve had several… um… discussions about said problem, and she’s right… I have rarely mentioned her in my blog. In the past, I’ve tried to keep my blog more focused on Open Source and geeky stuff, and also tried to keep my family out of the public eye, even going so far as to use initials instead of names in my posts, but I guess there needs to be a balance.

The picture shown here is of my wife, trying to extricate herself from a very small bathroom closet. What you missed 5 seconds earlier was her stretching to reach (she’s less than tall) the top shelf of the closet to pull out her carefully-wrapped big box present (it was her birthday and we had a lot of fun making her run all around the house, on a present/treasure hunt) from underneath a pile of blankets. And this picture shows one of the things that I love most about my wife–her smile. She has a great sense of humor. And she’s pretty cute too. Oh, and she’s one heck of a good cook.

Linda is a true super-woman in my eyes. She is always cheerful, no matter what is going on around her. She has the ability to look through the world through a child’s eyes and see the beauty and humor that most (including me) do not. She is a wonderful wife–very understanding, caring, giving, and loving. She is an amazing mother as well–homeschooling 3 children, keeping her sanity after being at home with them all day, every day.

She has just started playing around with having a blog of her own, so if you’re interested in the Woman of the House perspective on the Kasper family, by all means, check it out. =:)

Darling, I love you.
