Today is my AWESOME D's birthday. Sometimes I get a chance to look back in time and remember things. Birthdays usually do this to me. Today I've spent a lot of time going back in my mind to when D and I were dating, our early married years, the struggles he has been my rock for, the joy that I feel whenever I'm with him. Today is a great day! I look back and see how close I was to missing out on him. I'm SOOOO thankful D waited for me to be ready for marriage (anyone that knows our dating history will understand that). He is patient, kind, and always looks at things a little differently than I do which helps me learn and have an open mind. He is smart--really smart and loves to solve problems and dream big. He loves to travel and loves to meet people who are different than him. He is the least judgmental person I know and always has an ear out for someone who needs help. He is rushed by a choir of "daddy's home" when he walks in the door and kisses as he leaves for work. He is a god fearing man who teaches those same things to his children. He laughs at the same things I do, He does the dishes and sweeps the floor, He hangs up my pictures and fixes sump pumps--even if it takes three tries ;) He gathers everyone for a run or bike ride and loves to be active. He ALWAYS encourages me to live my dreams and supports me in those dreams. I have never felt belittled or less of a person--infact I always feel like I'm the BEST in the world when I'm with him--even when I know I'm really not and quite limited. :)
I feel SOOO happy and grateful that I get to spend FOREVER with this MAN! He truly is the man of my dreams!! :)
Happy Birthday D!!! I love you!
I was making D's cake and he said it looked like a WWF arena... so we went with it. It's TAG wrestling! :)
