34 things

Happy Birthday Dave! I am the luckiest girl to have you in my life. In honor of your 34th birthday, here are 34 things I love about you:

1. You are humble, even too humble sometimes.


2. You like to "tornado" the house, and can do in an hour what it would take me all day to do.

3. When you set your mind to something you don't contemplate it forever, you just do it!



4. You have an excellent work ethic. You take pride in your work and you work just as hard for your employer as if it were your own company. You turn around projects for patients in record time and often after hours. Not because you have to, but because you know it would be nicer for them to have their product sooner.



5. You love your family more than anything.

6. You can't go to bed without peeking at your boys while they are sleeping.

7. You build me beautiful furniture. You don't even need a plan, just a picture and you're good to go.


8. You love me and think I'm beautiful even when I can't see it myself.


9. You try to get the most out of life.

10. You are kind to everyone.

11. You don't mind having burritos for dinner.....again.

12. You like looking at model homes or furniture stores with me.

13. I trust you completely.


14. You are like a kid when you get to go dirt biking with your motorcycle gang.


15. You help me with the dishes.


16. I never get tired of being around you.


17. You always want to do the right thing.


18. You love my family and they love you back.

19. You set big goals for yourself.


20. You are an Ironman.

21. I can talk to you about anything.

22. You were my first true love.

23. You iron your own clothes.

25. You bring me flowers.


26. You don't watch much tv.


27. You are grateful.


28. You want your boys to have opportunities.


29. When we met, you wanted to be a ski bum. You are no bum, but now you are skiing with our boys.


30. You work extremely hard, but I always know that your heart is at home with your family.


31. You made your own motorcycle chest protector and used it for 6 years until Irealized what the other guys were wearing and got you a "real" one.

32. You don't complain. I may complain about stuff you are dealing with, but you don't.

33. You are easy to like and easy to love.

34. You are my best friend.


I love you! Happy Birthday!
