The BIG 3-0!!!


Tomorrow Nate turns 30! I am so thankful that he is my husband, and that I get to celebrate (and live) his life with him. In honor of his 30 years, here are 30 things I love about him!

1. He is kind and loving to everyone he meets
2. He makes me laugh
3. He makes sure I don't take things too seriously
4. He cares about people's feelings when most guys wouldn't
5. He always gets great parking spots
6. He always picks out great pants for me - even without trying them on!
7. He is an amazing dad
8. He is a spiritual leader
9. He is humble and gracious
10. He is always learning
11. His amazing voice and guitar skills
12. His love for the Lord
13. His ultra-weird friendship with Danny
14. I never have to question his commitment to me or Kingston
15. He takes care of my car (even when I keep hitting things with it)
16. He brings me presents when he returns from trips
17. He sacrifices for Kingston and I daily
18. He is a great provider
19. He supports and encourages my desire to stay home with Kingston
20. He believes in me and always encourages me
21. He never complains about the house/laundry/etc
22. He has embraced my "non adventurous" personality and doesn't try to change me
23. He loves the Chiefs and Royals - that is loyalty and commitment :)
24. He keeps his word
25. He is wise
26. He has a great sense of discernment
27. He watches movies he hates because he knows I like them
28. He takes time to play with Kingston even when he is exhausted
29. He isn't afraid to ask for other's opinions - he knows when to seek wise counsel
