Soooooo…..TODAY is my WONDERFUL, AMAZING, INCREDIBLE HUSBAND’S 26th BIRTHDAY!!! He has been really excited about his birthday and he deserves a FANTASTIC day because he’s the GREATEST guy!!!

On a wonderful day in May of 2001 (the 6th to be specific)…I was at Church and noticed this guy looking my way. I wasn’t really into a relationship..I had just ended a 5 year relationship, just graduated from College..and was just ready to be me for the first time in a long time! Well, that didn’t exactly happen! HA! Soo…..he came over to me and I think we had about a 7 minute, 48 second handshake…it was a pretty good one! He SLYLY invited me to his “small group”…aka, ultra casual bible study/hang out with friend time. I thought, WOW…I can’t even believe this guy….I mean….I can’t say NO to God….so conveniently I couldn’t say NO to him! I thought, WHAT A SNEAK this dude is!! I can’t believe him.

Well, I had to go to…..and so I did…and I ended up having a blast…and before I knew it, I was totally in love with him and when he asked me to marry him 8 months later, I knew it was the best decision of my life. It’s crazy to think of all that we have been through since then! He and I actually lead that same small group today! It’s sort of funny!!

He is the most crazy, wonderful, looney guy I know…and every day of my life has been a BLAST since the day I met him!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY! I absolutely adore you….and can’t wait to take you out tonight!! (ohh…and that is the cake that I made him…isn’t it cute!)
