Happy Birthday Babe!


So my main (and only!) squeeze turns the big 3-0! I can't believe how old he is.... wow... but I still love him in his geriatric state! In honor of the big day, I made a big list of the top 30 reasons I love him.


30. His soccer obsession. He even makes a World Cup Soccer spreadsheet, with Macros, the whole enchillada!

29. His problem solving skills.

28. He can go from awake to almost asleep in one blink. Literally!

27. That he can laugh about having a sinus infection for 15+ years.

26. He notices my insignificant quirks, and points them out...often!

25. He goes to any length to save money, including forcing me to cut his hair from day 1 of marriage!

24. He gets the kids excited for family stuff (home evening, prayers, outings, etc).

23. His sweet tooth. It gives me an excuse to induldge!

22. He has great taste! Home decor and even shoes! He is my best shopping buddy.

21. He becomes the kids playground when he comes home from work and lays down on the ground.

20. He doesn't mind manual labor, even if it means putting up an entire fence by himself.

19. That he holds my hand when I give myself my weekly shots, even though he hates needles.

18. Kids of all ages love him.

17. He loves to play games! And usually wins....

16. He isn't into 'toys'. Every guy is into 'toys'. Whether it is electronics, cars, etc. He isn't! And I LOVE that!

15. He sits with Cannon and watches America's Funniest Home Videos, and laughs everytime there is a NASTY fall!

14. He is extremely creative and thoughtful, especially in gift giving and date planning.

13. He is very giving and generous.

12. He can play any sport, and excels in the random sports: ping pong, racquetball, fluff tennis?

11. His laugh (especially when I do something embarrassing and catch him off guard!)

10. He has the most random thoughts. I learned to be prepared when I ask him, "Whatcha thinking?"

9. His dancing skills (and willingness to dance!)

8. How handy he is around the house!

7. He is eternally optimistic.

6. His gorgeous eyes!

5. He loves to work, especially for Chesapeake.

4. He is one of the happiest straight-laced people I know. He has always been very good, but quietly so.

3. He has unwaivering faith in our Savior.

2. He is a fabulous dad, and the kids scream with joy when he comes home! (So do I!)

1. The way he loves me!


Happy 30th! I love you!

Ryan is a gem, but I'd be careful about teasing too much about his geriatric state, Ms. RA at 27! ; ) Hope you all have a great day!
