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.
5.  You work just as hard outside as you do behind a desk.
6.  You're the toughest man I know and the most sensitive man I know.
7.  You give me the best and yummiest bite. :)  Always.
8.  In the past, you rocked the most beautiful spiral curls...prettier than I've ever seen on any girl. ;)
9.  You were my rock during labor with Emery.
10.  You can carry all of the groceries in at one time.  No joke.  That's talent.
11.  Whatever career or calling you have, your goal is always to help people.
12.  You change diapers and help me at feeding and bath time without complaining.
13.  You love the Lord.
14.  You don't bring to my attention every time I do something wrong or do something that frustrates you.
15.  You're slow to anger.
16.  You're passionate about life and the things you enjoy.
17.  You care about what my opinion is and always consider what I have to say about the direction our family takes.
18.  You'd give up your hockey tickets in a heart beat just to spend time with your family.
19.  You'll stay up late to talk with me even when you're dog tired.
20.  You always thank me for whatever I cook for you, even if it doesn't taste the best.
21.  You can read people like a book, but still love them if you don't like what you 'read'.
22.  You're good to your momma and to my momma.
23.  You dance with me in the kitchen, and tell me I really do dance like ursher.
24.  You'll watch chick flicks with me even if you don't want to.
25.  You sacrifice everyday to make a better life for us.
26.  You try to save as much hot water in the shower as possible for me.
27.  You make up songs...all the time. :)
28.  You fold socks.
29.  You're my 'list'....the best husband and daddy ever.
30.  I get to spend the next 30 years with you by my side.

Happy birthday. I love you.
