Thirty four on his 34th

Thirty four on his 34th

1. He loves his family above all things and there is no doubt because he always puts us first.
2. He is a man of few words, but when you get him going on a topic he has interest in or hand him a beer ... get comfortable because it may be awhile.
3. He LOVES to help people and is kind of an adrenaline junky. He was a volunteer firefighter for 16 years and loved every minute of it. Not only did he love it, but he was good at it. (Currently he is not one due to the move. We are praying that God has his hand on this and will guide him back into it if that is what he is meant to be doing).
4. He loves watching football but his favorite is watching his Texas Longhorns.
5. He was a kick butt football player in high school and I can say that because I was lucky enough to watch him first hand. (did I mention how hot he looked out there)
6. His favorite food is a good chicken fried steak with mashed tators!
7. He was my brothers bestfriend, which is how we met. I however was not interest at first, but what can I say the boy had some charm because he quickly stole my heart.
8. He is pop drinker and by that I mean he has a FEW a day
9. He is a snacker and mostly at night.. this is rubbing off on our kids... and quite possibly his wife as well! His go to snack is popcorn. Like I'm pretty sure we have bought stock in popcorn.
10. When I met him he was farmer and by that I mean farm boy to the max. He worked long hours, had a farmers tan, was up early and went to bed late. We had many hours of phone conversations as he was driving on his big green tractor. the only way to see him during harvest was if I drove out to the field to see him.
11. He hates avocado - it makes him nauseas
12. He is the Grinch at Christmas time- Like it's his rule, no decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving (I'm slowly working on this)
13. He hates Christmas Music
14. He loves Forensic Files and has lost more hours of sleep than I can count do to the addiction
15. He loves to be outside
16. He ran track in college (he was very fast and has passed that on to Teegan)
17. His celebrity wife is Miranda Lambert
18. He is still a kid and I'm quite sure he will never grow up. He likes to pester us all, the kids included. He is constantly picking on, or wrestling with one of us.
19. He is the Best daddy, like seriously he has helped with every late night, every diaper change, cut, scrape, victory, and so on since the day they were all born.
20. He takes his bible when he goes on trips (this makes my heart so warm knowing that he is growing everyday into the man God wants him to be).
21. He has been through more in his young adult life than most people go through in a lifetime. Honestly the toughest person I know. I wish I had his strength.
22. Hardest person ever to shop for (My oldest said when we were birthday shopping for him "mom dad never asks for anything") He is the simplest person yet so hard to shop for.
23. He has been in two major vehicle accidents and walked away with minor injuries.
24. He was electrocuted at the age of 22 (due to his accident I did not have to take any finals my graduating year of high school). Praise the lord he was ok but we had quite the scare.
25. He can not sit still for long. He is a busy body and always has to be doing something.
26. He has 3 tattoos and one takes up his entire back.
27. He lets his wife be his barber. I have only failed him a few times lol good thing hair grows back.
28. He loves storm season and lives for all the crazy that comes with it.
29. He has always wanted to be a paramedic but with 4 kids has not found the time to take the course.
30. He never misses an opportunity to tell me or the girls how beautiful we are.
31. He makes my coffee almost every day.
32. He is one of the hardest working people I know. He has always put 100% into any job he has had or been given.
33. He is a rule follower
34. He reads self development books and is always looking for a way to better himself. I look up to him so much for this. I strive to be a better person because of him.

Happiest 34th birthday my love

XOXO,
