35 for the Birthday Boy!

Posted on

Well, it is a great day when you get to celebrate the man you love!  So here is mine! Today is Robert’s birthday and honestly in the midst of our travels and meetings this week, we weren’t sure we would even have an evening to ourselves to celebrate.  So here is my top ten list of things I love about my hubby.  Help me out by commenting or sending him an e-mail, telling him what you love about him…. I know the list is long!

10) He calls me beautiful (even when I am not).

9) When I text message him to pick up something on his way home from work (like diapers or milk), he automatically says yes.

8) When I was learning to cook during our first year in Albania, when I told him we were having French toast (again) for dinner, he ALWAYS said, “sounds great!”

7) He always rubs my neck and shoulders without complaint when I have a headache.

6) He is always looking for ways to be a better husband. When he reads or listens to something that causes him to think about how to make our marriage better, he shares it with me.

5) He is young at heart, young in spirit, and goofy like our kids. He makes me laugh out loud.

4) He has a HUGE heart for people. He loves to be around people, talk with people, and see people be all that God has created them to be.

3) He loves our kids with an amazing tenderness. He desires for the boys to be all crazy boy that God created them to be and our sweet girl is just the apple of his eye. He is a great dad.

2) He is a man of vision and impact. God is doing big things through him.

1) He loves Jesus with his whole heart.

  8. Hippo bird day, two ewes! Hope you got to celebrate in a special way! From Jacob: Happy birthday to you, you live in a zoo, You look like a … um… I’m sure you know the rest!! :o ) From Olivia: Happy Birthday. I love you Uncle Rob! From me: I loved the list that Jenny made. It reminded me of how special you are to me. It made me think of all those walks and talks we took around the block on Brenda Ave, right after Dad lost his job. I have to say that it was then that I felt like we could really talk about stuff together. Up until that time, you were just a bratty brother! Imagine that! (Come on now, like you didn’t give me any reason to feel that way? ha ha!) At any rate, I’m so proud of you and all the things God is doing in your life. I hope you day was great! I love you!
