Happy Birthday, Hayden!

WARNING:

this is going to be all sorts of mushy, gushy, lovey talk, so at the end you can't say I didn't warn you...

To my one love,

my whole world,

my everything,

Happy Birthday!

Alright, so you know things can't be "normal" around our house and you are probably showing up here because you received some sort of clue to do so...hopefully you haven't waited ALL DAY because I am probably waiting anxiously for your reaction.

Alright already, I will move along.

Since you can be the most indecisive birthday present picker ever I shall make it a game.

and since I am not made of millions you must pick ONE...

but by using only the clues below.
ooooooo....

(I know it should be so super hard and complicated - yeah no)

one. 

let us reminisce for a moment

two.

did you happen to notice who was playing this morning in your car?

three.

there was something fixed this morning, now you might need something else like this:

four.

yes, that is how much I love you...I posted this loverly from a camo photoshoot a couple years ago...

...and since you think you are an old man I will give you 27, yep 27, things and reasons why I love you...  

1. the way you laugh - at my stupid jokes

2. the way you love me

3. your OCD tendencies

4. letting me think I am in control (keyword: THINK)

5. the way you reminisce about our honeymoon, just as much as I do...

6. that you cook and grill (regardless of my chicken concerns)

7. the way you care (for your family, your friends, complete strangers...)

8. how giving you are

9. that you love turtles and frogs...

10. and reptiles - and that you make me walk through the reptile section in Petco even though I practically run through it

11. that you love the cowboys (even though you should love the steelers)

12. that you can pick a drink for me better than I can

13. that you care for me when I am being high maintenance

14. that you understand how important family is

15. your glasses and the face you make without them

16. that you LOVE old cars

17. that you watch girly movies with me

18. that you legitimately love date night (at least I think you do)

19. that you can pick out clothing for me and that I can pick out clothing for you but for some reason we can't seem to pick out our own clothing ourselves

20. that you make me eat like a rabbit

21. that you run/swim/bike (oh my!) with me

22. that you are just as high maintenance as I am (when in all honesty you really aren't)

23. the way you tell stories

24. that you love our dogs like they are our children

25. that you can go from - loving hunting to fishing to going to nice dinners to being on the beach to working on the house to watching cheesy movies - all in a matter of a split second.

26. that you are my soulmate

27. that I get to spend another year with someone so absolutely wonderful, with a beautiful heart, an endearing personality, and a perfect match for me.

I don't think that 27 even begins to explain how much I love you. I guess we will have to revisit this when you turn 80 then we might be getting somewhere...

Happy Birthday again to my love, my best friend, my confidant, and most importantly my husband

you are an amazing man and I am blessed beyond words that you are my soulmate and husband!

Happy Birthday LOVE!
