This is what you looked like yesterday. |
These are things about you that are true today:
Jobs: Client Service Coordinator at Banfield Pet Hospital & Grad School Student.

You're my best friend, and you are my favorite person to hang out with. I love that you kill spiders and bugs for me even though you don't like them either. You love Nala so much, and I can't wait to see how much you'll love our kids. You remind me to turn to Jesus instead of you sometimes. You really love your family. You aren't perfect, and you know it. You're real! You help me to be real. I love your eyes. Your kisses. Your hugs. I love how you get excited about things I think are silly. You do the dishes and laundry. You read out loud to me. You write me love notes.
Activities/Interests: Movies!, Hanging out with me, Nala, Community Group & Church stuff, Reading, TV (stuff we have on DVD or can watch online), Aquariums, Wii-ing, watching scary movies, photography, animals, playing games (Nertz, Spades, Settlers...), playing computer games (Words With Friends!), watching Spongebob, cartoons, traveling.


Least Favorite foods: Anything Breakfast. Meatloaf. Grandma's Mac & Cheese.
Things you did while you were 26: Moved to a new apartment and started being a Cares team! Became an uncle for the first time! Took lots of grad school classes-even one up in Virginia at Liberty. Had your sister-in-law live with us for a few months. Borrowed your mother-in-law's convertible for a couple months! Went to adoption trainings & did adoption fundraisers. Got a brand-new car for a Christmas present! Paid off another credit card.
Favorite Movies/Shows: too many to name: (You are currently in the process of watching every single movie you own during 2012), The Nightmare Before Christmas, Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Christopher Guest movies, Transformers series, LOTR series, ...
What you want to be when you grow up: Elementary School teacher and stay-at-home Dad
Last year, I wrote that the previous year had been the toughest year of our marriage and prayed for more joy this year. I totally think God answered that prayer as we figured out how to have more time together and time doing ministry together. Though we still face challenges, we are moving forward and trusting God to lead us. I'm so thankful for this past year and what we've learned about living together. Maybe next year, we will be celebrating you becoming a father!
