Mr. Man is 44! (Yesterday.)

Happy Birthday to him!
He went to work.  He grilled pork chops for dinner.  He played basketball.  A pretty typical Thursday.
We had cake.  A chocolate-cherry dump cake made w/ a home-made "pie filling" because I don't do the canned stuff.  It was all I had time for, since we have VBS this week.  (THAT, hopefully, will be a post of it's own later.)

He was good with it.  We'll do something later this summer for our "birthaversarry."  Since his birthday is in June, mine is around Labor Day, and we were married in July it's not unusual for us to combine it all into one "thing" as far as the gift element goes.  We will have a date night soon, very soon, for the individual event.

So, what makes Mr. Man so darn special.


  • He does everything he does with his full attention at that moment
  • He loves his God and his family unconditionally
  • We enjoy the same food style
  • We enjoy the same sports (even if we have different favorite teams)
  • He is my back-up whenever needed for whatever reason.
  • He is human valium.
  • He knows how to lead without the follower knowing they are being led
  • He knows when we're due for a moment of the unexpected.
  • His facial expressions.  They are a language of their own
  • He is content with who he is.
And of course, because he has no idea how amazing he really is.  He just keeps on  keeping on, without taking a pause to think about it.  That's part of why I love his birthday.  It gives me an
"appropriate" occasion to remind him.
