Arty is a true gem. He and my niece Valerie got married a few months ago. Sadly, I wasn't able to go. I heard it was amazing though. My sister Lisa and her husband Tony love him like a son.
Arty had been with Val for years, through some of Valerie's most trying times in her life. He loved her and suppported her. He was patient with her. She found a true rock.
Arty and Val adore their digs...like children, I hear. :) This is Arty with Leo, and the Santa picture is Cadence. Arty was raised by his grandparents. He is so good and kind to them. He will do whatever they ask of him. He and Valerie help his grandparents run their farm. Arty works hard all day, every day, bailing hay, tending to the cows, getting daily measurements. I'm a little jealous of the whole farm thing. Hard work, manual labor.
Arty loves to learn. If he wants to learn how to do something...he'll get a book and learn it. He wanted to build a shed, bought a book to learn how, and built one. I have no doubt that he will treasure and provide for my niece. No doubt.
He's musical too. He even plays the guitar in a band. So cool. He's hilarious. People want to be around him and his happy, silly personality. I can't wait to get to know him better through the years. We're family now! Happy Birthday to you Arty!
