Happy 33rd Birthday!
to
The man...
- that after 11 years I'm thankful to call my friend.
- who makes me laugh daily.
- who aggravates me to the point of anger, only to turn into a sweet heart the second he realizes he crossed that line.
- who understood the importance of his wife choosing to staying home with the kids while he worked a thousand times harder to make it happen.
- the one that amazes me daily with his genuine knowledge of computers and how they tick
- who has no problems tackling those super tough discipline cases that seem to overwhelm me.
- who is tightly wound around two little girls fingers
- is one of the few people who can truly look at our son and talk to him on a level that baffles me
- holds the weight of issues larger than him on his shoulders, yet doesn't let it interfere with our everyday life
- who may not be the overly romantic type, but more often than not surprises me with romantic gestures
- that blew me off on our first meeting at Miami, only to come to my rescue a few days later.
- who stopped going to college for 2 years so that I could focus on my degree (he graduated exactly a year after I did!)
- who has the best eyes ever! Technically they are hazel, but change with his mood and clothing color choice
- that pushes me to be better than I am
- who will never (unless you pay off the best man like I did) be on time for anything. Ever.
- that promised me our new bathroom would take 3 months to build. 2 years later and it is still no where close to being finished (this one is for guilt only!)
- that held a leg, counted, cut the cord and cried each time we were blessed with another child
- who puts up with my serious mood swings when my favorite person visits.
- that over-thinks and researches everything. Much to his "jump first, think later" wife's annoyance.
- sees so much of himself reflected in Ren
- always drives the P.O.S. vehicle so that I can drive the safer, more reliable one. For the safety of the kids.
- has fulfilled every little girl dream I ever had and then some. (it's okay to gag a little here)
- that with the flash of a smile you can tell if he's being serious, devilish, or sneaky
- claims to "wear the pants in the family", but if you press him will actually say we have a 50/50 household
- who will listen and take in a situation before speaking. Good or Bad.
- that has a man cave that could use a little work
- who loves his computer games
- who never walks out the door for work without taking time to kiss and hug each of us while saying "I love you"
- that has supported me in this blogging adventure since day 1. Even if he didn't understand it at first.
- who needs haircuts more than any normal person ever should
- gives up the gift he wanted at the family's white elephant gift exchange to score his wife (who didn't participate) a new Vera Bradley purse. That's love!
- that crawled up under a desk to fix a computer on campus and didn't pay any attention to me burning a hole in tush in the process. (yup, now you know why I was initially attracted to him...LOL)
- who is walking through this journey called life hand in hand with me, which makes me the luckiest girl on Earth!
