Birthday Boy

I know everyone likes pregnancy related posts the most {who knew I was a poet?} but I needed to take a few moments to write about the rich blessings God has bestowed on me with my sweet hubby. For those who know Jake, he's an all around nice guy. But being one in flesh with him is not only filled with laughter but a love that can only be from the Lord.

It's also funny to think that years ago Jake, a junior in high school that thought he was cooler than he actually was, didn't make a great first impression on me. However, 12 years ago today, that same boy got his drivers license and this 14 year old girl who walked EVERYWHERE was asked if she wanted a ride home. And although I said no, it was instant attraction!!! He had a car {sure it didn't have air conditioning, but it was October and I wasn't going to be picky!} and now he was showing me a sweeter, less obnoxious demeanor. Well... we didn't start dating for another month and a half, but that love grew into something I can only explain as unconditional. Today that sweet boy is a man after God's heart. His desire to glorify God in our marriage and serve me by leading our household is one of the main reasons I love and adore him. His nerdiness makes me giggle. His beautiful voice soothes my nerves and makes my heart flutter. His "job skills" make me feel physically protected. His excitement, like a liitle boy on Christmas, waiting for OUR little boy to arrive {hopefully not on Christmas}. Those are just a few more reasons why I love him.

So my sweet darling, happy 28th birthday! I can't wait to celebrate {there I go rhyming away again} many more birthdays with and for you as long as the Lord wills!! I love you!
