My Darling Husband

Happy birthday to my dear husband!  I feel like I should have thrown him a big party for this birthday.  Thirty is a milestone that should be celebrated.

Brady I hope you know how much I love you.  I hope that I show it as often as I say the words. I am so thankful for you.  Thankful for how hard you work for us.  I know that it can't always be easy being the bread winner and bacon bringer.  It means so much to me that you continue to do it for us, that your hard work allows me to be home with our children.  

I know that you, like me, often feel like we are in a rut.  Everyday the same things over and over again and it gets exhausting.  It gets to be mind numbing sometimes. Some days are easier than others and some are just down right awful. I want you to know that there is no one I would rather share this rut with.  No one whose random quirks I would rather deal with.  I mean, if I have to pick up random dirty socks from places I would never dream of leaving a dirty sock I am really thankful they are yours.  

I love our life together.  The ups and downs and the ruts.  I'm just as happy as the kids to see you when you walk in the door after work.  I hope you know how vital you are to our happiness.  I hope that you can feel it in how we treat you.  

Thank you for dealing with my frustrations as often as my excitement.  Thank you for being a voice of reason when my ability to reason has run out.  Thanks for not always making me be the bad guy with the kids.  Thank you for loving our kids in all their wonderful, exasperating glory.  Thank you for being a wonderful dad with out even trying.  

I am grateful you picked me to spend eternity with.  Happy Birthday honey!  May this year be the best one yet!
