A Big Day

I have been teasing him about this for 5 years now. The big day tomorrow. The big 40. It would be more fun if he were bothered by it. I really wanted to have a party for him. Have his old buddies come drop by and say hi, but they dont seem interested. maybe it's a good thing. He is 100% different than he was 20 years ago, hanging out with people that haven't changed at all.
I really could not ask for someone more perfect for me. He is an amazing dad. And really what else would I want. He provides for our needs, and most of our wants. He loves all of his kids, and makes it known. He is slow to anger, and more patient than I will ever be. He wasn't even thrown off by a diagnosis of Down syndrome. He lives and loves the gospel. He is teaching his children to do the same. He never complains about his callings, that would be me, and he deals with me, better than I do. We work well together. Oh, he can fix anything. And I do mean everything. I hope my boys pick up on that. He had an awesome example of how to be a husband and father, and I would be blessed to be gived 40 more years with him.

Happy 40th. I turn 40 in January, and I'm not concerned at all - I cried when I turned 30!

Happy Birthday! He sounds like my husband, and you sound like me :).
