Happy, Happy Birthday!

Today is Christopher's (aka Chops :) birthday! He is turning 25 - but there doesn't seem to be a quarter-life crisis anywhere in site, thankfully! In my family, when someone has a birthday, we exchange emails full of things we love about that person, so I thought I would list my favorite things about Christopher here- well, some of them, at least! (These are in no particular order!)

1. He will probably never have to call a "handyman" as long as we live!
2. He knows everyone on the Weather Channel by first and last name.
3. He is the most patient and forgiving person I have ever met in my life.
4. He is a man of integrity- and I would only use that word to describe a handful of people.
5. He cares most about things of eternal value.
6. He is and will continue to be a wonderful provider and loving daddy to our little girl.  I hope she understands what a blessing that really is.
7. He loves me so much and so well in spite of all of my failures and shortcomings.
8. He has upheld each one of the vows he made on our wedding day...EVEN when he found out that"for better or for worse"meant that he had to deal with pregnancy hormones.
9. He brings ME breakfast in bed... on HIS birthday.

This list barely scratches the surface.  He has the kindest heart, and I have the privilege of being his wife! I am blessed beyond measure.

Here we are on his birthday! Sarah Claire sported an "i love daddy sooo much" shirt for this special occasion!
