30 Years ago today...

The man of my dreams was born :)  It is crazy to think that we are already turning 30, especially when you think about the fact that we've been together since we were juniors in high school! We have been through so much together, both good and bad. The one thing that hasnt changed is the fact that we are there for eachother and support eachother through anything... and when I knew I loved him when we were younger, I never imagined how much more I could love him now. Just like I cant imagine now,how much I will love him when we are 90. I am so lucky to have him- and so are Andy and Justin and Ryan. Somehow- I got this guy who is just an awesome hubby and daddy.

A while ago, I was talking to someone and joking about how bad I am at making decisions. Then they asked me how I ever decided to get married then. (Weird ass question)... But all I could say was that that was an easy decision. So this person again with the weird ass nosy question said "Why?". This caught me off guard because I wasnt expecting it- so I said "Becasue he's perfect"  Then I laughed because I sounded like a silly little girl and I knew it. They caught on and said "Well, as perfect as any human being can be" Yes, exactly. Now, what I really wanted to say to this person was that he is perfect for ME. If you can imagine this person who just balances you out as a person...thats him for me. He makes me slow down and think things through more than I ever would. He knows how to be silly when I am feeling crappy and he makes me laugh. He gets down and wrestles with the kids and has more fun than they do. He is smart. He is sensitive. He can see what people need before they do and all of the sudden, he is there for you- ready and willing. He will do just about anything to help anyone out...even though he tries to put on this hard-ass man front like guys do :) He sits and yells at the NFL players when hes watching football. He is handy with anything that needs to be done anywhere...the cars, the house, a broken toy...he can fix it. He teaches me things...like how to wire an outlet, and how to be a better person. He is gentle and kind hearted. He is as picky as a little girl when he eats...but atleast he knows what he likes. He is strong, goal driven, motivated and really wants to do the best job no matter what he is working on. He likes to just get in the car and drive places just to pass time and see if we can find anything cool...like a park or a cute little town. He takes the boys fishing on the end of the dock and they just sit out there pulling in little perch and sunnies and sticking a new worm on the hook like its nothing- but to me it is one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. He is "real" Tells you how it is- good or bad, and not materialistic. Doesnt have a bad thing to say about anyone. If I say something during a girl moment, he can sometimes (not always!!!) get me to realize that maybe things arent so bad or that they said something with a different meaning that I took it as. Complete and utter trust. And he is a GOOD shopper!!! He finds great ideas for gifts for people and great deals too!! If I am tired or not in the mood to cook- he offers to do it. He makes me feel like a better person, I feel better when he is around, he is the best daddy, and the kids love him to pieces and we are lucky to have such an swesone person in our lives. SO, if you take all of the things I have said, and all of the things I havent said but could, and wrap them into a big ol' cuddly teddy bear...thats him. And that is why I love him :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY

you old fart!!!!!
