34 years

Today is our 34th anniversary.

0AB46DEC-D845-4941-804F-784EE590F705

And he is still my favorite person to go on adventures with.

He will walk in the moonlight with me.

He stops to save turtles and loves animals.  

Except rats.  He is pretty good at trapping rats.  That is a good trait in a husband if you have a 100 year old house on ten acres.

He is a dedicated pop pop.

He makes the best of my Christmas obsession. DDF9647E-9CB7-4C04-A084-5D086400CEE1

And tolerates my even more out of control Disney obsession.

(As long as I don’t make him hang out with the mouse too)

He is always interested in trying new hobbies, like bee keeping.

And axe throwing.

He is very supportive of his family.

And would do anything for them.

He is very sentimental.  This fallen tree was special to him, he told family stories to the grand fairies under it.  So it had to be saved and made into a table.

The dogs adore him, and he walks in the woods with them multiple times a day.

93C2DBEB-324A-4ABC-BFA3-C4D122EB1802

He works hard, even on vacations, he can put in a 40 hour work week.

6A0BEE69-73A0-421D-97E0-F18568D44DD2

He is always up for adding another room on our house, or another dog to our family.

Luckily, I can usually stop him.  

Unless I really like the idea of another room.

Or the dog is really cute.

He doesn’t care that I rarely wear makeup.

And best of all?  He is hilarious.  And sometimes everyone thinks so, not just him.

He makes us all laugh.

Another 34 years sounds pretty good.
