365 Days of Grace #70
Tomorrow (Thursday) is my hubby’s 44th birthday. So today I’m sharing 5 things I love about him.
1. The thing that drew me to him in the first place is still one of our strongest bonds and probably always will be, and that is music. We are a team. I don’t think it would feel right to do music without him. He’s my partner in performing, in writing and in enjoying all things musical.
2. He’s a great dad. He’s not perfect (but are any of us?), but he is crazy about that little girl. When we were watching The Bachelor the other day, he was saying how he understood how someone could be in love with two people. I (half jokingly) asked him if he was in love with two people. And he startled me a moment when he said yes! Then he continued, explaining that he’s in love with me and with our daughter. It’s a different kind of love, obviously, but I totally knew what he meant. I fell in love long before she was born and I think he did, too. But we both fall more in love with her every day. Just like we do with each other. That’s a pretty special thing.
3. He doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. I’m not much for digging in the dirt, but I love plants and I’m always wanting to add another one. Luckily, Mike loves puttering around outside and does all the digging for me!
4. He doesn’t get grossed out very easily. Or when he does, he doesn’t show it. He just sucks it up and deals with it. That includes cleaning up dog, kid, and wife puke, among other things. I can guarantee you that he changed more of LG’s poopy diapers than I did!
5. His smile. It’s what made me fall in love with him and when we share a smile over something LG does, it’s even more special.
This is one of my favorite photos of the two of them. LG was 11 months old.
Happy birthday, honey. I love you!
