Happy 29th Birthday!

Mike's birthday was back in December, so I back-dated this post,
but if you're reading this in a reader you wouldn't know that.

To celebrate 29 years of Michael, here are just 29 of the many things I love about him!

1. He's a hard worker.
2. "I love you" and "thank you" are frequent in his speech.
3. He is always helping someone with something.
4. He has the willpower to hold off on the things he wants now in order to save for something more distant.
5. He is honest, ultra trustworthy, and a great secret-keeper.
6. He is humble but confident.
7. He is forgiving.
8. He is sensitive.
9. He loves me so much and lets me know (now that's attractive!).
10. He lives the gospel.
11. He gets along with everyone. He doesn't find people's flaws.
12. He protects and defends me.
13. He is willing to dress up with me (and I think he may even enjoy it!).
14. He doesn't worry about things (that's my job) because he has faith and patience.
15. He didn't mind that I didn't want a diamond (getting a simple ring didn't make him feel like less of a man).
16. He is excited about the projects and crafty things I do.
17.He is always patient and calm. He doesn't have a temper. He never even raises his voice.
18. He is almost always in a good mood (He only gets in a funk a few times a year).
19. He does the dishes on his own and often.
20. He helps me be kinder and more patient.
21. He gets up early with Eliza.
22. He takes care of and knows about finances.
23. He doesn't want a TV either.
24. He always goes to all my prenatal appointments.
25. He thinks I'm beautiful and tells me so all the time. He compliments me often.
26. He eats everything I cook (even when I won't).
27. He loves kids and kids love him.
28. He knows at least a little about everything.He loves to learn new things. He remember just about everything he ever learned.
29. He's a fabulous dad!
