Happy Birthday Richard!

Today is my wonderful husband's birthday!  He is 27 years old! I have had to miss out on helping him celebrate as I have been sleeping all day because I worked all weekend.  We did celebrate last week with my family for this reason, but I still wish I could have been awake all day to hang out. I am so blessed to have him in my life and couldn't imagine it any different.  I love that we have known each other for so long (12 years) and feel he is truly my soul mate and best friend.  I am madly in love with him, which only gets better every year!  He is an amazing father to our boys and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching him with them.  He is also a wonderful husband and I feel overwhelmed at times with the love he shows us.  He has a passion for life and for reaching others that is addicting.  He has an ability to connect with his students and show them how important they are and help them believe in himself.  I am so proud of the man God has made him and look forward to growing old with him!

(These are some fun pics of Richard's mini birthday from last week. The boys found a batman shirt for him and some new pajama pants.  He also used a gift certificate and my gift to pick out some fun new "toys" from the ski and bike shop! )

Happy Birthday Richard!  We love you so much and are thankful you are in our lives!
