Look who's 30...

Happy Birthday Sam!!


The hubster is 30 today!!  On my birthday Sam sent me an email with 31 things he loved about me.   It is an email I will always cherish, so I thought I would do the same for him.

1.  You are an eternal optimist.
2.  You are a patient teacher.
3.  You work hard every day to provide for Bennett and I.
4.  You desire and try to live simply.
5.  Your brother is your closest ally (apart from me).

Thanks for the blog love and award! I have been slacking at posting on my blog this week due to having a kind of emotionally draining week. I will post an award post soon. I had no idea that you lived so close to me! Are you in Tampa? We should get together sometime! :)
