Happy Birthday Mr. B!

Today is my Love's birthday :-) One more year and he will be the big 30, crazy how time flies! I am so thankful for him. I am thankful for so many things about him, but one of the most is his persistence. With out that, I probably wouldn't be where I am today. When he wants something, he goes after it with his whole heart and he never stops trying. I love his love for people. He has a heart that genuinely loves and cares for everyone and is truly interested in what people have to say. I love his heart for adventure, and that he wants to make every day a new, exciting chapter in our life story.

Here he is as a little 2 year old. The pictures of him as a little tyke always make me laugh a bit because he looks so mischievous, like he's up to something...he still gets that same look in his eyes. Happy Birthday B, I love you with all my heart!

There is one more reason that today is a special day...my brother Chris and his wife Anna are coming back from Ethiopia with their new baby boy! They have been in the adoption process for almost 2 years now, and all of their patience has paid off. I can't wait to meet this sweet little boy later today!
