So...tomorrow is our 10 year anniversary! And these days, I feel like that's a pretty big accomplishment. I'm so proud of the life we've made together, and without getting into too much history, most of you know how we started. What an amazing journey it has been and I look forward to the rest of the story. So, without further ado, here are 10 things - one for each year and in no particular order- I absolutely ADORE about my husband!
1. He's a stickler. He made a huge decision 10 years ago to grow up and stand by me, and he still stands.
2. He's a man. A man of all men. This man does crazy man things that drive me crazy too. Like...does your man like catching rattlesnakes (yes, catching, not killing!), or chasing hogs and coyotes in the dark night, or saddling up a horse that isn't broke?
3. He works SO hard! After a long day of putting in his regular working hours, he shoes horses and checks our own stock. And when I gripe about him being gone, he replies, "I do it for ya'll".
4. He can fix anything. Just like my Daddy, he can fix ANYTHING! For example, we don't take our cars to have the oil changed.
5. He's a dreamer. I am not. Without his dreams I figure we would sit in the same spot forever.
6. He practices tough love. I don't know how many compliments we get on our kiddos and their good manners. BUT I am willing to admit (& only today) that he deserves alot of the credit. They know their boundaries with their Daddy and they respect him for it.
7. Our kids adore him. Their eyes light up when that pick-up comes pulling in. They even dress like him. They love to spend time with their Daddy. I see a piece of him in each of them.
8. He's very intellectual. So smart. He was the kid in class that drives us teachers crazy.
9. He perseveres. Through life in general. There have been some times that it might have been easier to give this up. Not us. We don't give up. He doesn't give up.
10. Whoa! He's pretty darn handsome!
I love this guy!

Melt my heart!
My baby is 4! That just doesn't seem right! This little guy has changed our family in big ways. The future is bright for this boy, so full of personality. He is so different from my other two, a challenge I must say. Right now, I am really having to learn how to shape his little heart without squashing his spirit. Challenging, I will say again. He is so quirky, full of life, and funny! Of all 3 of my babies, his humor and mischevious nature surpasses them all. He's a skinny little thing, but can fill up a room with his energy, could live on sugar alone if I let him, has no interest in real food, doesn't care what anyone thinks of him (which I'm determined this will work in our favor one day), is very brave, loves orange juice and babies, is very intelligent, finds great joy in pulling pranks(yes, already), and loves attention (of any kind). He can be pretty sweet too, especially when he wants his mommy. Happy birthday, my littlest one, may God bless you this year and years to come!
