Happy Birthday, Dr. Dad!

Today, long, long ago (just kidding!), something amazing happened.

This man was born:

I call him Dr. Dad because he has a PhD and he doesn't often get the respect he deserves for earning that degree. Most people don't walk around calling you Doctor for your Doctorate. Even though he can't save you medically, he is trying to save the world ecologically. I think that's pretty cool.

I have had the honor of knowing my husband for almost 16 years. We were friends first, then dated for 2 years, engaged for a year and a half, and married for over 11 years now. We have been through it all, good and bad, and I am so very, very blessed to have him as my strength and support and husband and friend.

He is an INCREDIBLE Dad.

He is the SMARTEST person I know.

He has a UNIQUE sense of humor.

He is STRONG in his convictions.

He is an AWESOME person.

Happy Birthday.

I love you!
