Happy Birthday!!!

A HUGE Happy Birthday to my amazing husband!!! He revels in the fact that he doesn't have to share his birthday month with anyone else, and I think that is appropriate. We should have a WHOLE month to celebrate this amazing guy.

34 things that make Ian the top dude in my book (in no particular order)
1. He is an amazing father and husband.
2. One of the most selfless people I know.
3. His ridiculous knowledge of all things historical.
4. The way he honors his Priesthood
5. Do you know anyone else that can quote movies like this guy?
6. A fantastic example of what it means to love your family.
7. He is full of humility and always is trying to improve upon himself.
8. He shares my unhealthy love of Disneyland.
9. I love watching him interact with Jackson. He is the perfect mix: a dad who isn't afraid to let his inner 6 year old shine through.
10. He loves me no matter what. Seriously!!
11. He has a soft spot in his heart for his nieces and nephews; especially the nieces.
12. He is a great role model to his nephew that may not have an ideal male role model.
13. Very responsible.
14. Even though he's still responsible, he's been known to call me at work at noon and says "Should we go to Disneyland after you get off work today?"
15. Those lips. Yummy.
16. He gives the BEST hugs!! Solid and firm.
17. His geekiness when it comes to comic books and Star Wars make me smile.
18. He has a gentleness about him while still maintaining his strength.
19. He is pretty open to trying new, crazy things.
20. His patience.
21. Hs love for animals, especially for that dog of ours.
22. His commitment to his faith.
23. That smile.
24. They way his eyes crinkle up when he smiles.
25. His laughter. The kind of laugh that goes all the way through his body.
26. Late nights with him when neither of us can sleep because we are laughing to hard.
27. He'll let me sleep in...I mean REALLY sleep in...when I am sick or he feels like I need rest
28. His gratitude for his blessings.
29. Those sparkly eyes!
30. His honesty.
31. The great example he sets for me.
32. His ability to overlook faults in those he loves.
33. His sense of style.
34. That he is mine...forever!
