Today is Jim’s 30th birthday. 30 years ago today, his parents barely made it to the hospital before he was born. Today I am thinking about HOW much of my life he is. I can’t imagine my life any other way than living it with him.

I think about what a wonderful man he is. Everybody who knows him loves him. I think that it’s so easy to see his character. When he was laid off 3 years ago, he really stepped up to the plate and made a business out of nothing. He has worked SO hard to support our family.

He’s a wonderful father who loves his kids so much. Every night before we go to bed, he goes in their room and checks on both of them and says every time, “I really like them. They’re such cool kids.” (In Jim speak that’s saying a lot.)

Some of you may disagree with me, but I have the best husband EVAR!!! He’s as patient as he can be with me. He loves me more than I deserve. I love you Jim. Happy Birthday.
