Happy Birthday Mike

It is my husband's birthday today. He has been razzing me for a few weeks for a comment I left on Carlee's blog a bit ago about Edward Cullen in Twilight. He thinks I dissed him to my friends, and I just want to set the record straight for his birthday.
My husband is an amazing man. He works so hard to provide for our family and give me the opportunity to be a stay at home mom. I couldn't do it without him. He works hard all day long and will often come home from work and help pick up the clutter that always occurs during a day in our house with 5 children.

He is a wonderful father and any one of the kids would tell you that. He loves to play catch in the yard with any of them, he loves to wrestle with them camp with them, play games etc. He truly enjoys being with the children and that to me is a sign of a great father. He is forceful when necessary and soft and caring when that is needed. He is a great example to my sons of what a man should be and to my daughters of what a husband should be.

He is a great husband. He is forgiving when I am not the best wife and when I say things like I "sometimes wish he was more romantic, like Edward". The truth is he is romantic. He takes me out on dates, he brings me flowers for no reason at all. He will sit and gush through a romantic movie just because I want to see it. He is a great husband. He is supportive of all my endeavors. He loves me unconditionally. He is loyal, true, and faithful. I know I can always count on him to be there when I need him. He helps me through difficult times is the shoulder I lean on for support and cry on when I am sad. He makes me feel safe and secure and most importantly loved for who I am.

Thank you Mike for everything. I am so glad you are a part of my life now and forever! Happy Birthday.
