I have a good idea now

Last month my hubby turned 42. He catches up with me every year and for a time we're the same age.  We're only 5 months apart, but he likes to remind me often that he married an 'older' woman.  He's right...I was a whopping 20 (barely) when we married and he was still only 19.  Crazy.  Crazy?  Some would for sure say it was crazy.  We have a child who is currently our age when we got married.  In fact if she took after her father she'd already be married. 

Now when I look back I don't think it was crazy I just realize I had no idea what I was getting into!!  Usually when someone says that it's a bad thing....but for me it's just the opposite.  I had no idea he was even better than I thought.  (Hey this is my Rockstar's Birthday tribute...so I get to be mushy ooey gooey ok?)  So here's my Birthday list for my baby...some of the "I had no ideas"

             I had no idea...that...
~He would make me laugh as much as he does.
~He would never sing.  Not even in the shower.
~He would do projects for me at 11:00pm even when he's bone tired. All because I'm a night owl and get creative.  (see above picture)
~He would love me so fiercely.
~He would be so very, very careful with his words.

~He would not fly off the handle. Ever.  It's just not in him.  Unlike his wife...who tends to fly off the handle. 
~He would always be there to help me land after flying off that handle.
~He would be so instinctively good with our children.  A natural.

                 I had no idea... that...
~He would give of himself so selflessly...showing me what a true Godly man is all about. 

               I had no idea...that...
~He would leave toothpicks all over the house.
~He would vacuum without even being asked.
~He would not complain. He just does not complain. 
~He would slow dance with me..but only at home or weddings.
~He would be willing to chauffer me around while I shopped. And still be in a good mood.
                                   
I had no idea this one person, this man would become more than all my heart could dream for. 

Happy Birthday to you...my husband.  Your 'older' wife is thankful for you,  and tremendously joyful that you are mine.   xoxoxo (if you'd like to pick up your toothpicks though that would still be great)
