Happy 32nd Birthday Babe!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday Baby!

I love Will for more reasons than can be named--that sounds like a cop-out so I'll do my best to explain why I love this guy sooooooo much.

1. He is my best friend. There isn't another soul on earth I'd rather be with. He is so fun and funny and he always makes me laugh. We can (and do) talk about everything. He likes to try new things and will go along with the same-old-thing if it is what I love.

2. He is the hardest working guy I have ever met. He busts his butt from the moment he gets out of bed in the morning until he hits the pillow at night. With the occasional break for games with the kids or hanging out with his wife.

3. He is an awesome Dad. My kids cannot get enough of him. He plays rough-house and jumps on the trampoline. He plays chase and teaches them how to hop back up when they've fallen down. He reads to them, right now he is reading The Hobbit to Lorien and Wyatt. They cannot get enough of the story and he makes the whole tale even more entertaining with character voices and suspenseful pauses. One of the first moments I knew I was head over heels in love with Will was seeing him take care of a baby. When we were dating I was singing in my ward choir in New Hampshire. The pianist had recently had a baby and was doing her best to keep practice going one Sunday with her baby at her side. Will was up from Boston and offered to take the little tyke while we practiced. No one saw or heard from Will or the baby for about 30 minutes. I stepped out to check up on them. I found Will in a near by classroom swaying back and forth with a sleeping, swaddled infant in his arms. I knew then and there that he'd be a great Dad and I would be more than happy to multiply and replenish the earth with him.

4. He wears T-shirts that say "Suck It Trebec" and "Size Does Matter". If that doesn't make you love a guy--I don't know what will.

I love you William James. Thanks for making me so happy! Happy Birthday to you--here's to another 90 years with me and eternity after that! (You know he feels super lucky when he reads that!)
