Happy Birthday to my Man!

Today is Larry's birthday. I day of real celebration for me because I am so thankful that God not only made this incredible man, but then He blessed my life by giving him to me as my soulmate, my best friend, my precious sweet hubby! He is the hardest working man I have ever known. He just gives and gives. He loves God and lives his life that way. He supports me, spoils me, encourages me...and even taught me to fly-fish. Hmm...we need to practice that some more. I can't imagine life without him. As we get older, the more I realize how rich my life has been because of him. I love watching him as a father and grand "Bud". He is so patient and loving with them all! There is two things though, that I would like to thank him for, the sweetest gifts he could ever have given! First, giving me the HUGE gift of being a stay at home mom. We have talked about that a lot lately. Would we financially be in a better place had I worked...for sure. Would we trade being in a better financial place today for that...NEVER! We know we made the right decision!!! I encourage other young mothers and fathers to really consider it. It isn't easy, you might live on beans, potatoes and rice but what you will give your children is unmeasurable! Second, picking up the slack around the house and taking care of things so that I could care for my Mom when she was ill. I will never be able to thank him for giving me the time to literally sit at her feet during those days. My heart is full of talks and moments that we were able to have because of the time Larry allowed me to be with her. Those are moments I will cherish my entire life. So, though today, is your birthday Larry, I want to thank you for the gifts you have given me and our family. Point proven: You are the most giving man I know! Love you babe! I pray that these little boys will always follow in the same steps as their Dad and Bud...and become amazing MEN of GOD!!!
