Thank you, my Dear Paul Schmidtke. I love you.

Thank you my Dear, Paul Schmidtke.

I thank you for working so hard to take care of our family. You provide us with food, clothing, a roof over our heads. You provide our children with an excellent male role-model: provider, protector, Father. Your dependence on Our Father in Heaven reflects in the hearts of our children, whom love Him also. I thank you for your perseverance throughout many ups and downs. You are there for us.

I love you

and

Thank you.

Paul Schmidtke, God's servant, persevering still. . .

My Dear Husband, Mr. Paul Schmidtke,

We embark upon your final semester for your Bachelor's Degree. I am so excited and proud of you. You continue to astound me in your perseverance and non-willingness to negotiate you morals and beliefs. You are refreshing in this world of wishy-washy quitters. I love you, Paul Schmidtke. You are the love of my life and I will continue to support you to the best of my ability in all your endeavors for God, our family (including ALL our children: Lucas, Anastasia, Catherine, Sebastian, and Malachi), your education, and political ambitions. You are simply wonderful. As we approach all of our son's birthdays in the next two months, and our 9th Anniversary on the 22nd of this month, I know we have much to pray for, to celebrate and/or be thankful for. You are my Texas Southern Gentleman. I love you. I commit myself only to God before you.

Your Devoted Wife,

Mrs. Lori Schmidtke

Paul Schmidtke, one semester closer!

I just finished my summer 2010 semester, and yours is ending very soon. It is amazing how you continue to persevere, working 50+ hours a week, doing side jobs, as well as attending UTA full time. And now, you are even continuing to improve your physical health with a nutrition plan most people would cower at the thought of. You continue to impress me and earn the adoration I contain for you. I love you very much and am proud to be your wife, mother of your children, and a part of the continuation of the honorable, hard-working, Schmidtke family name. I love you Paul Schmidkte!

Thank you.

Paul, Thank you so much for sending us to California for my Mother's wedding. She is extremely excited that we will be there for her, and with so many of her grandchildren too! I love you so much and am extremely appreciative of all that you do to continue to provide for our family; your Christian leadership, work ethic, love, and possibly more than all, your humor! I love you dear. Happy Father's Day! Your wife, Mrs. Paul Schmidtke

My Amazing Husband: Paul Schmidtke, FATHERS DAY 2010

Paul,

I am honored to be your wife this Father's Day 2010. As such I have been on all previous Father's Days. However, this year you have continued to "awe" me still. You work so hard and continually to provide a nice life for our family. You persevere to better yourself that you may better lead us. Your devotion to our Father, God in Heaven is the most attractive of all. I thank you so much for being the Possessor of my Heart, God-given guide for my soul, and encourager of my mind. I love you. I anticipate with much joy many years yet to enjoy by your side.

Love,

Your wife and help-meet,

Mrs. Lori Schmidtke
