30 for My Man

If you know Jeremiah, you know I married up.  He is the best man I know.  Tomorrow is his 30th birthday.  I met him right before his 23rd birthday.  I have seen Jeremiah grow from an unsure college student to the most supportive husband and daddy.

Easter 2011

In honor of you, Jeremiah, here's 30 reasons why you make my heart go pitter-patter.

1.   You tell me your favorite time EVER to be with me is first thing in the morning, right after I wake up.  Now that's love.
2.  You're going after your dream of earning an MBA.  You're giving it all you've got.  This little family of yours really appreciates that.
3.  You cook the best breakfast I've ever had.  Your gravy rocks!
4.  You let me follow my motherly-intuition even if it sounds crazy.

20.  You always thank me for whatever I cook for you, even if it doesn't taste the best.
