Dedicated to the One and Only

My husband turned '39' yesterday! Whooooa, Nelly! I thought we were still in our late 20's!!!????

Here are 39 things I love about my hubby:

1. His love for the Lord


2. That he'll do anything for me, even go get me coffee at 5:30 in the morning if we are out.


3. That he is the person behind the scenes that really makes homeschooling work for us...by pitching in and doing laundry, dirty dishes, you name it!


4. He is the best daddy in the whole world to our children


5. The bond that him and our 'Little O Factor' shares.


6. That he is unimpressed with fashion and labels and outward appearances


7. He has a heart for the poor, widowed and orphaned


8. He is a true servant through and through


9. His work ethic is like no other


10. He does not do things for accolades or recognition


11. that he cares about staying physically fit


12. He prays for me and our children


13. He knows the Truth but isn't all theological about it. It simply is what it is and that's all that matters!


14. He goes to the store for us and is really good at it


15. He does our bills (in my opinion, the yuckiest job in the whole world!)


16. He loves the Office as much as I do


17. He gives me free time or 'girl' time whenever I need it


18. He is organized


19. He looks good in a cowboy hat
    
20. that he likes to coach our kids in sports


21. that he can strike up a conversation with any stranger on the street


22. He can paint a wall faster than anyone I know


23. His discipline


24. He can see something so black and white and simply that I have over-analyzed for hours.


25. He rarely worries about anything


26. He loves the beach


27. He's got that 'cool' factor that I've never had


28. He still dates me


29. He's always game for all the goofy things I ask him to do


30. He can keep a secret better than anyone I know


31. He still plays flag football at 39 and is holding strong


32. that he leaves me notes


33. He likes me without makeup and doesn't care that I am wearing it less and less these days


34. He enjoys cooking


35. the fact that his Starbuck drink is so strong it's hair-raising


36. his quiet dry wit


37. He'll take all of our kids out to eat or to the store by himself like its a walk in the park


38. eating dinner together often is important to him


39. He is a walking sacrifice for me and our children, sacrificing his wants and desires daily

Eric is not perfect nor will he ever be. He does things to annoy me, frustrate me and get under my skin just as all of our husbands do. But these are the things I love about him and want to celebrate and focus on these things as much as possible!

Happy Birthday, sweet hubby! I LOVE YOU!
