Happy Birthday Mitch!!!!

The love of my life was born 26 years ago today. Mitch is my best friend. You always here people say how awesome it is when you get to marry your best friend... it is SO true. He is so special to me for so many reasons. I have never known someone like him. Here are a couple reasons why I love Mitch --- He is incredibly kind. To the point where all the time he will say something to me or about someone and I will say, "I never would have thought of that, you are so sweet." He is always looking to the interests of others. He loves Jesus so much. At the end of every day I watch him read his Bible. He has always loved to learn about God's word and apply it to his life. He is so fun. He is always trying to get me to quit running around the house like a mad-woman with my to-do list and just enjoy the moment. He is an amazing daddy. From the moment Scarlett entered the world he has been unbelievable. Even when we were in the hospital for days and days with a birth experience that we were totally not expecting, he was such a trooper. Always encouraging me and taking care of Scarlett when I couldn't. Now, each day he comes home after a crazy day and just wants to hold and love on her. It is so precious to watch. I also love that we can talk about Scarlett for hours on end and never think twice about it! Okay, seriously I could go on and on. Words cannot express

how much you mean to me, Mitch.

... And I may or may not get a little out of control with pictures in this post!!! Oh well, ha!

Mitch, I love you. Happy Birthday. Here is to 77 more celebrations of you!

My lover is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
