What a Man


I will affectionately call my wonderful husband his full name on occasion. Most of the time it's when I'm laughing hard at his quick wit!

Today is his birthday.......Thirty-three.

For those of you who don't know about, or not a lot about, my husband, I'll fill you in. He's:


**the person I've known the longest (aside from my family, God and one friend.), 11.5 years.

**my Hero. He's worked long, hard days to solely support me and the kids for 9 years. And some wonder why I call him my Knight-in-shinning-armor?

**considerate. He opens doors for me on dates. Car and building doors. What a gentleman!

**loving. One of the first things he said this morning was "Is there anything I can do for you today?" And at the end of his long work day he always (not exaggerating here) calls to ask if there is anything I need, any errand he can run for me. My heart is all warm and fuzzy just thinking about that!

**compassionate, ever-thinking, wise (in multiple ways), faithful, honest, gorgeous, long suffering (es. when it comes to me!), witty, hard worker.....the list is never ending!

Hon: These past three years have been rough. Yet, you remain my Knight-in-shinning-armor. There is no other place I'd rather be than in your arms. Thank you for this amazing journey, this life you've given. I am humbled by your devotion to God and faithfulness to us. You have made us victorious. You complete me and I will always love and respect you.
With gratefulness and a happy heart, your wife, Beautiful
