On This Day

** years ago, on this very day, someone special came into this world.

He was such a sweet little boy, the baby of his family.

And what a rebellious-looking young boy he was - are those side burns? Can't you just see him on his motorcycle (with training wheels of course)?

He grew to be a most particular teenager, with great regard for his hair - just look at that pristine style! Every hair in place!

And, of course, very athletic - that face definitely says it all - "I can take you"!

A most earnest missionary and spiritual individual.

With a bit of silliness...

And a wonderful husband.

Here are a few of the too-numerous-to-list things I love about my man:

• He opens doors for me still.
• He never crosses streets unless it is on the crosswalk (sometimes this is aggravating to me, but it just shows what a good, law-abiding citizen he is :)
• When I don't feel like cooking, he jumps right in and gets to work.
• He is always looking for something to improve in himself.
• Even when he puts his foot in his mouth, he is always trying to make me feel good.
• He has a weakness for my puppy-dog eyes.
• He accepts me (and my family) without reservation (and THAT is saying something :)

• And he is VERY strong - comes in handy when I can't get the lid off a jar!

So, today, my love, I wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

And many many happy returns!
