Grateful: My Knight

Today is my wonderful husband's birthday! He truly is my 'knight in shining armor'! He brings a smile to my face nearly all the time. He loves me when I am unlovable. He praises me for the simplest things. He cares for me even when it isn't needed. He is a wonderful blessing of how we should all live our lives. He is a loving father, grandfather, son and husband. Simply put: he is the best man that I know. Having him in my life has been a blessing from the start. When we met we became friends, and soon became best friends. Here we are, so many years later, and still one another's best friend.

I love that he:

Loves his family unquestionably. He may not be the best at showing it, but the love is there and it is deep and abiding.
Faithfully calls his mom several times a month, just to let her know that he loves her.
Okay, this is another family thing - but the man simply LOVES being a grandpa! He loves it I tell ya! He cannot get enough of them.
Has a wonderful testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and is grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Fulfills his calling to the best of his ability, and always has.
Is a hard worker, and dedicated to doing his job well.
Has a great reputation as a Geotechnical Engineer.
Is super friendly even though he is very shy.
Gives others credit for their accomplishments.
Researches everything he is interested in, and then proceeds to tell me about it!
Enjoys the outdoors, particularly Yosemite, with Yellowstone following close behind.
Is generous.
Welcomes others into our home and family.
Lastly, because this list could go on and on, and on... I love that he loves me with all of my imperfections, and that he sees who I am better than I do.
