Birthday Boy

Today is my hubs birthday. Happy Birthday hubs! Most years it feels like his birthday rolls right on by without much fanfare. Maybe he should take a cue from me and talk endlessly about the fact that he's got a birthday coming up and then he'd end up with a fabulous party or trip.

His birthday always lands somewhere near the Labor Day weekend so there's usually something going on that distracts me from giving his birthday the attention it deserves. Most years that something is daughter2 because did I mention someone else in our family is celebrating a birthday very soon and I've been busy getting things ready for her big day. She obviously has been paying attention and is not going to allow her day to go by unnoticed.

Hubs gets it. He doesn't mind. In fact he said when he wants something he just buys it so happy birthday to him. We do have a fun weekend planned and best of all he'll have both girls home to celebrate. He hasn't seen Daughter2 since May and my girls have not seen each other since then either. That is just so wrong. I'm pretty sure it wasn't that many years ago they solemnly promised to live with us forever. Humph!

Anyway, back to hubs (the cute brother above left and below right)...in honor of his special day today here are ten random but candid facts about the birthday boy-

1. He has two settings-on and off. When he is on, which is most of the time, he has more energy than any other person I know.

2. He is a good dancer.

3. He wears his heart on his sleeve.

4. He is so funny. Sometimes when I'm mad he'll make me laugh. That makes me madder but only for a minute. It also makes it easy to forgive and move on.

5. He always does the right thing.

6. He is an excellent father to daughters. He loves with his whole heart and believes they can do anything. He tells them so on a regular basis.

7. He makes friends wherever he goes.

8. He does not mind shopping and has excellent taste. He's never bought me an item of clothing or a piece of jewelry that I did not love.

9. He runs the vacuum, wipes down the shower, and hangs up his clothes without a word from me.

10. He is not afraid of life and runs headlong into it.

Happy Birthday Hubs!
