Forty Years and His Eighteenth Father's Day
I would be remiss if I didn't pause and at the very least mention that Husband Jared turned 40 on Flag Day this year. And he also celebrated his 18th Father's Day the following week. Talk about milestones. So in honor of his big moments I thought I would do a list of 40 things I love about him and maybe I'll share a few photos of his birthday and father's day celebrations. There might be a classic of him in a cowboy hat adorned with a rather large 40 and just maybe he was wearing a beaded necklace and holding a piñata that sister Natalie purchased for him. Maybe.
1. he loves me well
2. the way he parents our four
3. he forgives me when I don't deserve it
4. he laughs at my jokes even when no one else is, or maybe because no one else is,
either way I love that about him!
5. he loves Jesus most
6. he is always teaching me something new
7. when I am wound up about something and not seeing straight he knows just how to help me pause
8. his morning kisses are the best
9. he knows how I like my coffee
10. he possesses a steadfastness like no other
11. every move he makes and every word he speaks is deliberate and thoughtful
12. he is who he is without apologies
13. his leadership helps all 6 of us be better
14. his passion for the sport of football is unmatched
