Today I want to say Happy Birthday to my dear husband of 11 years, on his 33rd birthday. Only in West Texas would you get a cake with cotton burrs on it! When I asked the cake lady what they usually do for a masculine cake, she said either pine cones or cotton burrs - so I thought the cotton would be something different and it does fit Gabe quite well. I doubt if he's ever had such a cake in his honor before. We eat supper together at church on Wednesday nights before class, so tonight we'll have this cake and ice cream and help Gabe celebrate. After all, you know how he loves the spotlight to be on him!
Here are some things I love about Gabe:
- he can fix anything!
- he plays with Avery on the floor of her room each night when he gets home from work, sometimes before he even gets to eats supper
- he always opens doors for me
- he can prepare a class or lesson in an hour or less!
- he has 2 great hobbies - both of which he is an expert in - toy tractors and 4-wheel drive vehicles
- he is a great writer
- he happily eats leftovers
- he often picks out a surprise for me on Mother's Day, my birthday and other special days
- he doesn't take business calls on the weekends (well, maybe just a few really important ones)
- he is a great leader for our family
- he's not a complainer
- he always orders the unexpected thing at a restaurant
- he is well respected by everyone who knows him
- many more things, but I can't write them all down! (as I think of them, I'll add more, so you might want to check back!)
I think I "married up" and I'm so blessed to have a great hubby! I hope he has a great birthday today! Jill

You did marry such a great guy!! (but wouldn't say you married "up") ;)
He used to be sure to take time to play with me when we were kids as well. Two of my most favorite memories are 1) playing farm with him - he ALWAYS let me have my favorite truck. (not sure if it was also his favorite - but it was still very sweet that he let me play at all.) 2) playing basketball in the driveway and talking.
I about fell off the couch laughing at the cotton cake! ;) That is absolutely the funniest thing I've ever seen. And how sweet of Avery to "not let the secret out" ha! Hope you get to do something more to celebrate this weekend! Enjoy.
I also think your hubby is SUPERB!!! I'm with Lynsey though, you both married VERY well!
And, I love that Avery. What a doll!
I think we both married up! (We'll I did at least!) The men in this family are amazing!
I'm so glad you updated! But, as a mom of a three year old, you don't have much time to sit at the computer!
Hope you are having a wonderful day!
