Dear Husband,

or should I call you hubs or hubby? (inside joke!)

We met 6 years and a few months ago and neither of us were who we are today. I guess that happens, huh? I mean I really didn't think we would still be farming our virtual farms together on Farm Town. For old times sake, "will you harvest my peas?"

I remember the day we met, like it was yesterday.  However, it is difficult for me to remember life before you - before us.     

I always tell you I love you, but today, on your birthday, I will tell you why and share just a few of my favorite things about you.

You are my rock, protector and always have my back.

You are a child at heart.  You save the best foods for last, cant sleep on Christmas Eve and cant keep a secret.

Your saving skills. As you know, I lack those, but in my defense I am getting better.

Your willingness to live a more "natural" lifestyle because you know it means a lot to me.

Your sense of humor.  Even when I am at my most irritable you still try and make me laugh - winning more often than not. 

I love your sarcasm and teasing, even when I hate it. There is never a dull moment in our house. 

Your optimism even on the darkest days. 

You let me eat your french fries at a restaurant because you know how much I love myself some potatoes. 

When you do something, no matter how big or small, you do it with everything that you have. 

You are just as silly as me.

The unconditional love you give our pup.  

Your work ethic, drive and leadership qualities. I am so grateful for all of the hours and hard work you endure for us and our future.

Your alarm clock abilities.

You never question my sudden need to go to Target and graciously accompany me.

Your excitement for life.

 I love you, not just for what you do, but your character and values; who you are as a person and who I am because of you.
