Ode to Mary Katherine Loftin Gilreath

Hello to all, this is a surprise guest from Jimbo; the man, the myth, the legend ( Dave Loftin says I'm all those in my own mind, I politely disagree). I know that my followers of "Deep Thoughts with Jimbo" have been in a slight depression/withdrawl without a post in more than a year, so I figured I'd make everyone happy and put out a guest post.

In all seriousness, I'd like to take this time to brag and build up my wonderful and supportive bride Kate! As a few of you know, I've taken a new job that will take me away from the house 50-60 hours a week and out of town for a total of more than a month in the next few weeks. Throughout this time, Kate has been the most supportive wife and mother anyone can ask for!! During this time, Mack has had to do breathing treatments and ear drops and Kate has dutifully kept Mack in good shape. During a dinner party last week (which I proceded to ATTEMPT to be the life of the party) I told the group that Kate keeps Mack alive, I make it fun to be here. I hope that makes sense and comes across well on the blog; if not, disregard that. If it weren't for Kate...Mack would go to school with one shoe and a boot on, a fedora on his head, a wife beater, cut off jean shorts, and a serious mullet that I thought looked good and Elaine thought looked like a kid out of the "Seen in WalMart" email chain.

So to Kate, Mack and I thank you for all your hard work and support you give to the Gilreath boys. We know that baby #2 (which for your sake should be a girl) is in great hands and we can't wait.

Love,

Jimbo and Mack
