Belated Birthday Tribute


This post is a little overdue, but better late than never, right? October 8 was Hank's 25th Birthday. Unfourtunately, the majority of his birthday was spent at school. He left at 8AM and didn't make it home untill 5:30PM. He was such a trooper. He kept calling me to make sure I was okay! How great is he?! We did eventually have a great night with part of the crew at dinner and then at our nephew's football game.

Hank is incredibile. Yes, at times he can be a little nutty, kind of stubborn, and his life seems to revolve around hunting seasons, but he is truely the most amazing man I know. He is so considerate, kind and smart. He cares deeply about those around him and is very protective of those he loves. He always wants to make those around him feel good and important. It is impossible to be around him without smiling. He always knows just what to say to make me laugh or cheer me up. He does the dishes even though he hates them. He enjoys life and is not afraid to laugh at himself. He loves the outdoors and gets the cutest little smile when he goes up into the mountains. He is always concerned about me and takes such good care of me. He always tells me how much he appreciates me and loves me (even when I almost ruined his bday cake by dumping it on the floor at his bday dinner). He is such an amazing friend, and husband. I realize more and more every single day just how blessed I am to have him in my life.
