For Adam fatherhood began the minute I called him into the bathroom with the positive test. One minute we were going out to eat. The next minute our life was changed for ever. Obviously for the better. But we didn't know that then. Adam took me in his arms that instant and assured me God's plans were bigger and better than ours. He was right. He was right there during all the sickness and blood pressure scares. He never tired of making grilled cheeses or getting milkshakes. He never showed he was nervous about this big step we were taking. And when Noah arrived he acted as if he knew exactly what to do. He was my rock and comfort while Noah was in the NICU. The whole process made me fall deeper in love with him. I love the way he misses him when he is at work. I love the way he plays with Noah and always wants the best for him whether or not its convenient. I love the way his face lights up when Noah smiles at him. He is a partner in the day to day care of Noah and loves his Fridays off at home with Noah. The are daddy/son days and he looks forward to their time together. I've never heard him complain about getting out of bed to give Noah his morning feeding. I just simply love the way he loves Noah. It is a testament of the beautiful character he has. He is an amazing father. He humbles me with the way he serves our little family with God's love and strength. Noah and I are so blessed by the amazing head of our household. And I thank God that he provided me the date I needed for fall formal in 03. My life has been so blessed by that tall Plainsman Editor. What a privilege it is to be loved by such a humble man of God.

What a wonderful post. Adam is who we prayed for all of those years...I am sure he would agree that he is richly blessed to have you by his side because I know I am blessed to have you as a friend.....really carrie now that i think about it i will take full credit...i am sure it was my brown dress that you borrowed that started this domino of incredible blesssings! i love you!
I remember the brown dress! And I am so glad that you have such a catch, Carrie. You deserve him!
So sweet and well written!!! They look a lot alike for sure! Adam is pretty lucky to have you too!!
And just think about the fine man Noah will become with Adam as his role model. One of my passions in ministry and life is the role fathers play in their children's lives. And I know what you mean when you say you fall in love with Adam all over again when you see him with Noah. Nick has already melted my heart in little things he does to help me out since I have been pregnant. It is good to know that there are other incredible guys out there other than NM and JM.
