38

I can not believe that today is Jake's 38th birthday. It amazes me. I've known this dear man for such a long time. We have lived a lot of life together and I'm humbled that he is mine. I never thought I'd be married to such a devoted, wise, amazing man. 
Tomorrow we will celebrate his day with cake, punch, and lasagna. Jake has grown from a young man who thought mostly of baseball and how to pass an accounting class to a humble man of the Lord, father of 8, husband to an utterly crazy Texas girl, and a stunning Officer of the Marine Corps.. did I mention how handsome he is???
Jake, we are so proud of you and thank the Lord for your work in taking excellent care of this family and pleasing the Lord in your doing so. You are a treasure to us all and the crown of your children. 

XOXO




Update 2/25/12 We celebrated and I snapped some pictures of the sweetness:

Normal and Sweet
Crazy and Still Sweet

Hey D&R, I don't merely surf, I rip. But thanks for the b-day wish nonetheless.
