I love my husband.

I love him

Michael, you are:

Compassionate ~ Willing ~ Hilarious ~ Honest

Inquisitive ~ Adventurous ~ Intelligent ~ Crazy

Sarcastic ~ Wise ~ Ridiculous ~ Creative ~ Sincere

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. God gave you to me, a gift that keeps on giving. Every day you wake up beside me is another day of miracles.

Happy birthday, Michael!
