Happy Birthday To you Chrissy Poo. =D

<3 How do I love thee let me count the ways <3

I figure now that you are quite old, you may need a reason for each year you've been here. ;) Oh, and also, I pretty much suck at telling you most days.. my emotions trapped behind a steel door sometimes. =(


1. You love me without conditions.
2. You think I'm beautiful when I think nothing of myself.
3. You are a very involved father (something HUGE to me).
4. You have grown into a wonderful, caring, thoughtful and selfless parent.
5. You work hard even for little at times.
6. You don't get 'mad' at much of anything at all- ever.
7. You let me make decisions that are important for me to make.
8. You are not controlling, you push me into doing things just for ME because you know I have a hard time doing so.
9. You don't let things get to you, you know how to let go.
10. You will embarass the whole clan of us in public if it will make one of the kids laugh.
11. You don't care what people think. This used to bother me but now I realize it's better than caring too much.
12. You fold laundry.
13. You will do about everything I ask you to, even if it means buying me tampons or Monistat lol.
14. You change diapers (sexy!).
15. You are an awesome cook.
16. You've learned what my standard of 'clean' is and you strive for it when you make a mess. ;)
17. You make me laugh.
18. You are never very serious (annoying mostly but sometimes I need it because I am serious enough for us all).
19. You have rough, scarred hands because you work hard for what we have, and I love them. =)
20. You share the complete chaos known as 'bedtime'.
21. You give really good hugs.
22. You've been an excellent labor 'coach' for our 3 babies.
23. You aren't afraid to cry.
24. You fix just about anything (and it works!).
25. You put our children first.
26. You put the optimism in our life.
27. You are fun to be around.
28. You consider and treat me as though I am your wife, even without a piece of paper.



Happy 28 Chrissy =D I am still waiting impatiently for the big 30 hehe.
I love you. I am happy we have grown more together in the last year and a half than we have in the previous 4. The trials of life have been testing us, and we have passed the test. You drive me nuts at times, but I'm still here. ;) I see more fun and unexpected years ahead, and I look forward to them, with you.
