I should have mentioned that this list is in no particular order. In real life my dog definitely does not come before my sexy husband. But today is his birthday, so I thought it would be appropriate to express my gratitude for this wonderful man on his day.

Here are 10 reasons I can’t live without him:

1. He can’t stand to see me cry, and will always try to make me laugh when I’m feeling down. He does the same thing with our daughter.
2. He never forgets to kiss me goodbye.
3. He’s a great listener.
4. He’s compassionate.
5. He loves providing for our family.
6. He’s loyal.
7. No matter my pregnancy status, he will always oblige and get my latest craving.
8. He supports my dreams.
9. He’s a goofball.
10. He’s my best friend.

We’ve been married almost nine years and this guy still manages to make me happier than anyone or anything. Out of everything I’m grateful for, I take him most for granted, and I want to get better at that. With two kids and busy work schedules, it’s easy to get comfortable and harp on everything you see wrong, instead of focusing on everything you love. I need to let him know how much I truly appreciate him, and keep doing the things I know he appreciates.

I’m thankful for this amazing man in my life, who is a fantastic husband and father, and continues to support me and put up with all of my shenanigans.

His face rarely graces the pages of this blog… Mostly because he forbids it,(and hates photographs). But after some sweet talking he let me share his sexiness with the world. So soak it all in while you can ladies, it may be a while before I catch him again.

Happy birthday Boo! And even though you’re #5 on my blog, you’re #1 in my heart.
