It’s Ryan’s birthday today, and I’m feeling a bit sentimental. As you likely know, we started dating when he was 18, which makes him … old. Okay. It makes both of us old.
There are a lot more than 30 things to love about my husband. I’m reminded of that every day. But, the fact that he’s 30 today means that I will share a few.
He’s funny, kind and insanely smart. (1, 2 and 3) He’s laid-back, but also a hard worker and self-motivated (4, 5 and 6). He’ll mow the lawn, change my oil and even vacuum (7, 8 and 9). His smile is contagious (10). He laughs easily and often (11 and 12). He has big dreams and makes plans to achieve them (13 and 14). He can fix just about anything (15). He doesn’t have to have the last word (16). He knows how to manage money (17). He’s a great driver (18). He doesn’t care what anyone thinks (19). He would rather do something himself than pay someone to do it (20). He isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty (21). He’ll hang curtain rods for me, even though he hates it (22). He teaches himself anything his sets his mind to (23). He’s the best father Henry could ask for and a more wonderful dad to our son than I ever knew to hope for (24). He changes diapers like an old pro (25). He’s fun (26). He is a looker (27). He would do anything for his friends and family (28). He treats those around him with respect (29). He holds my hand (30).
Not a day goes by that I’m not reminded that I really got a good one.
Happy birthday, Ryan.
Adorable! You do have a good one :). My hubs hates hanging up curtain rods too…what’s up with that?
Aww that’s really sweet!
Aw, what a sweet post. You guys are too cute! Happy late birthday, Ryan!
Happy Birthday to Ryan. My little sis turned 30 on the 12th too!
How sweet. Happy Birthday Ryan! Now I feel old =(
This is so sweet! Liking him very much already! Makes you a perfect pair, happy birthday!
So nice. I know what you mean about feeling old, but trust me…you all are in the prime of your lives, and when Henry is 13 you’ll be around my age, and feel so young, and have so much freedom to even more fun things.
Happy birthday to Ryan!!!
Happy birthday, Ryan! That is an excellent list, THOSE things are what little girls should hope for in their future husbands!
So sweet!
Happy 30th to Ryan! 🙂
Happy Birthday Ryan!!!!
I’m cool with the gushing as long as it’s sporadic. 🙂 Happy Birthday, Ryan!
Gushing about your baby on your blog, now your are gushing about your husband, you have every right. Henry is just adorable and you sure got yourself a good one!
Hope Ryan has a wonderful birthday, enjoy the weekend!
This was so sweet! Happy birthday, Ryan! 🙂
Ahh – I especially like #30. After knowing my husband since 5th grade, it’s still the little things that make me melt. Happy Birthday Ryan!
Ahh how sweet!! Happy Birthday to Ryan!! 🙂
Awww, I love it! Hope it’s a great day (weekend!)celebrating Ryan.
Also, I’d like to add #31: he brings Chick-Fil-A to his wifey and her friends, even if they ignore his 12 phone calls. (You should probably keep him)
Ha! That’s a good one!
Happy Big 3-0 Ryan – I hope Kim makes you an awesome cake!
Happy Birthday, Ryan!
What a wonderful tribute. I’d say he’s a keeper! Happy Birthday Ryan! Hope your day is filled with lots of love and laughter!
Oh gosh, now you’re one of those bloggers that gushes on their husband. 😉 Happy Birthday Ryan!
Damn – Now I know there’s another category I fall into mommy blogger – the husband gusher – the ranter – I know I’m missing at least a dozen more…. ha ha.
