Belated Birthday Love

Last week was Jason's birthday. We had a great day and he took some time off work to spend time with us. We went out to dinner and ate Mexican food--I think I could possibly say that's his favorite since it's most often what he chooses. So, in honor of my awesome Husband's birthday I'm gonna give you 10 things I love about him. I know you probably don't care, but hey, it's my blog and I'll schmooze about my husband if I want to. lol

1. His beautiful blue eyes--I was really hoping for a blue eyed child since I always wished I had blue eyes growing up. Not gonna happen, but it was a good dream while it lasted. ;)

2. His smile and his laugh. I love when he's showing me something that's funny and he can't stop laughing. It makes me laugh too--even when I don't think the original thing is funny.

3. His patience with the kids. He is so great at talking to them and getting them to tell him stuff when they won't tell me. I LOVE that the kids trust him so much.

4. His patience with me. He's so great to take all my mood swings and bad attitude and he still loves me anyway.

5. He is seriously the smartest man I know. The kids are always asking me stuff I don't know and then they'll say, "We'll ask Dad, he knows everything." I should probably get that one on tape for use on them in a couple years when we know nothing anymore. ;)

6. His knowledge of the scriptures and church History. I can ask him almost anything about the scriptures and church history and he knows the answer and also can find the quote or whatever I'm looking for in a flash.

7. He does the dishes almost every day. Since Liam came Jason does the dishes pretty much every day. It's a small thing, but it makes my life a little easier and makes us all happy!

8. His love of books. He is ALWAYS reading something and unlike me it's usually something intellectual or a biography, not silly fiction books. I love my silly fiction--I do try to throw in serious stuff once in awhile just for him. I love that the kids see him reading all the time and they love reading too. I know it's because they see their parents reading that they have grown to love books themselves.

9. I love when he holds my hand or puts his arm around me. I feel so safe and secure and I like knowing that he isn't "too macho" to let other people know that he loves me.

10. I love knowing that to him I'm the most beautiful girl in the world. That probably sounds conceited, but hey, he's my husband so he better think I'm the most beautiful girl because if he doesn't who will?? He's great to tell me that all the time too.

I love you Jason and I'm so glad we get to spend forever together! Happy Birthday!
