Jeremy's Birthday

We celebrated Jeremy's birthday with a nice homemade meal complete with ham, homemade bread, cheesey potatoes, and fruit salad. For dessert we went simple and iced a pan of brownies.

Then on Saturday our friends kept the kids so we could go out on a date night. It was so nice to have a quiet meal downtown at The Brick Oven. Afterward we went to sit and chat by the river. I love living along the river its such a nice view. Then we headed back to pick up our kids and share an ice cream cake I had made for the occasion. It was a simple birthday this year, but a good one.

My husband's love language is words of affirmation. So, in our spirit of buying used gifts this year I took this list entitled "7 Qualities of a Good Husband" and remade it just for you.

7 Qualities of A Good Hubbie

7- Handy: I think you might actually finally be convinced at this point in our marriage that I believe and love the fact that you are handy. :)

6-Provision Oriented: Since you are the sole provider for our family I think you're an ace on this one.

5-Humility: In the past few years you have shown me your strength through your humility. I am so proud of you!

4-Adaptibility: Our life is pretty much listed in the dictionary under unpredictable. You have always been great at adapting and making the most out of the blessings God brings. I think you might even be rubbing off on me.

3-Sensitivity: I love when I read a book about how men are "cave" men and completely insensitive by nature and I keep thinking...my husband doesn't do that.

2-Faithfulness/Loyalty: I am a fiercly loyal person and so I could marry nothing less. You always believe in me and are my best cheerleader.

1-Good Listener: You are my very best friend and a great listener (as long as the TV isn't on ;)

Happy Birthday!
