Little did I know that LONG before I was born God had already created my husband. Did I mention that it was LONG before I was born? :)Mike is the perfect husband for me. He takes great care of me and sacrifices daily for us. He is not the type of guy that needs a 12 course meal every time we sit down to eat, which is good because I'm the type of girl who is great at Campbells soup, macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper, hot dogs, etc. I do occasionally made homemade pizza, enchiladas and other better options. I'm working on learning new things and finding better, healthier options, but Mike is totally content with whatever I feed him. When we were dating this was one of my biggest fears - that I would never be able to feed him like a "good wife" could. He told me that even if we had to live on Taco Bell, it would be fine. :)
Today is his birthday. We both have colds. I spent much of the afternoon trying to sleep off my cold. He has spent most of the day vegging on the couch trying to get over his cold. We didn't go out for supper. We didn't have eggs so I couldn't make brownies or a cake and he didn't want me to go out to get them. I didn't have any gifts for him to open tonight (though he did remind me that we got all the Sears clothes for him last week and that was his birthday present). In my mind, the birthday was a disaster.
But that isn't my husband. He is fine with not making a big deal about it. He had homemade pizza for supper and he was happy with it. He didn't need brownies or a cake (but he did let me make him some butterscotch pudding to make me feel better about the lack of cake). He is content. So, I guess I must force myself to be content with it as well.
In reality, Mike is perfect for me. Things that I stress out about are no big deal to him and he calms me down over them. He balances me in an amazing, only possible with God, way. No matter what the future holds for us, I'm thankful that God has allowed me to make the journey with Mike.
So, happy birthday, Michael. I love you.

that was beautiful!!
I was told that we "need to get a room" because of all of our displayed love for each other. My response is...Dr. Michael's marriage advise office is open for those that need it. =) We are living proof that love truly grows even after 5 years of marriage. How do you like me NOW!!!!
Happy birthday to you! Get better soon for more PDA's! :o)
Aww, that was so sweet. You do have a good husband. I found that out when he helped us move into our house on Guam. After everyone else left, he stayed and helped us get everything put together right. This post doesn't surprise me one bit.
Happy Birthday! You guys are so cute! =)
