Birthday Fun

We had such a fun time celebrating Chuck's birthday this year. On Saturday we took him to Seven Peaks and all had a blast. Then we took him out to dinner as a family at Rumbi, (his favorite). His actual birthday was on Monday and so we got to go on a date that night. I love spending time together and it was fun to spoil him.

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

I have to say that I seriously LOVE THIS MAN!!!


Chuck is turning 33 today!!! He thinks he is getting old, but I still think he is the most hansome man in the world. I love him so much. Since this day only comes around once a year I want to take the opportunity to share all the wonderful things that I love about him (because bragging is only OK on Birthday's, right). I really don't think that anyone could ever love someone as much as I love him. He is amazing. I have been so grateful for the past 2 years that we have been away at school. We have become closer and happier than I ever imagined we could ever be. He is my best friend, my partner and my other half. I really feel like we have become one and it is the most amazing feeling in the world to feel that way about your spouse. I count him as the greatest blessing and gift from the Lord that I have ever recieved. Chuck is always looking for ways to serve and help me. He comes home from school/work and even though I know he is tired and exhausted he helps me with dinner, clean up, kids, baths and bedtime every night. He knows my love language and he goes out of his way to speak it, even though it doesn't come naturally for him. He has become so tender and loving with me. Chuck is also the most amazing father. My kids adore him. I'm so grateful that my daughters have a father who cherishes their virtue and protects it at all costs, and my son has such a great example of a priesthood holder and husband. He makes me laugh when I'm sad, and he holds me when I cry. I love that he loves Kiting and Wakeboarding, but never lets it take him away from the family too much. I love that Chuck always makes sure we get to the temple. When we lived in Bloomington the temple was 2 1/2 hrs away but he made sure we went every month, even though he had to sacrifice an entire Saturday of studying to go. And while living in Utah he makes it a priority to go even more often because it is so close. I am so grateful to have a husband who keeps and honors his temple covenants. I know that the only one he loves more than me is the Lord, and that brings me so much comfort and peace. He honors his preisthood and goes out of his way to bless others with it. He is so fun to be with, and everyone loves him. He is kind and giving, he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I really do just love and adore him so much. I am so grateful to feel so blissful and joyful in my marriage, it is the greatest blessing in my life. There are a million more things I could say about him. But the best of all is that he is all MINE for ETERNITY. I am one lucky woman!!! Love you baby!!!
