That handsome guy turns the big 3-0 today! You may remember that picture from his last birthday... but I just love his smile in this picture.
I'm so thankful to be married to him. He's my best friend. I love waking up to his smile and every afternoon I can't wait for him to get home. It is simply a joy to love this man. His laughter can change my attitude. His prayers help carry me through the day. His faith lifts me up. His heartfelt commitment to our marriage helps sustain me. He is such a gift. Michael, I love you more than you will ever know. I'm so thankful you were born. Thank you for loving me deep. Happy Birthday!
