Call me weird, but I love this photo. This is how Mike and I end up every night after we put the kids to bed. Side by side on the couch, watching tv, holding hands & playing footsie. Life is good!
Mike and I on one of our annual family trips to the pumpkin patch. Yes, he is texting. One of the good/bad things about owning your own business and using your blackberry as your office, it goes with you where ever you go. :)

Happy Birthday to my sweet husband! He turns 37 today, so he is finally the same age as me for a couple of months before he can accuse me of robbing the cradle again. I love this man! He and I met while serving missions for our church in New England. He was one of the missionaries who took me to the airport to fly home when I was finished, and I knew then at the very least I wanted to marry someone exactly like him. I mean, how often do you find someone who is incredibly hard working and yearns for adventure at the same time? Not very often. I had dated enough in college to know, that's for sure. So why do I love him? First off, he loves that I'm crazy. How lucky am I? Second, he isn't perfect, and he sure as hell doesn't pretend to be. (side note - I'm trying to curb my cussing habit, but it's been difficult. It's just two cuss words that I use, that can't be too bad can it?). Sometimes as little girls, we often dream about the handsome prince that is going to come and carry us off to live happily ever after. Instead, I was lucky enough to find someone who is handsome, but wants to enjoy the journey with me rather than carry me through it. Believe me, after nearly 15 years of being together, he is still the man I absolutely and completely adore. Happy Birthday Mike!

Happy birthday Mikey! You two are the cutest! Love ya!
awww. what a great story. thanks for sharing. I like your toe pedicure btw! LOL.
As a kid I always thought Mike was the coolest uncle ever, especially when he let me ride in his cool sports car and hang out in his room when I was visiting grandma and grandpa. He also introduced me to the Beastie Boys. :)
It was Mike, while on a post-h.s. graduation trip to visit the two of you, that convinced me to visit the University of Utah and took me there for campus visits. Without him, I would have not left Idaho, had such a formative college experience, and met my Michael.
He's still the coolest!! (Even if he is a BYU grad - ;} ) Happy Birthday Mike and thank you for always showing me so much support.
Happy Birthday Mike, you are the birthday boy today!
By the way, the picture of the tooties explains the end of the day perfectly. There they are. . . just happy little feet.
Love you guys!
You are a darling couple! Love the picture of you playing footsies. Simple togetherness - nothing better. Sounds like you found a real catch. Hope you had a fun day of celebrating.
ps. I had mixed feelings about twilight. I planned to hate it, and I didn't so that was good. I think I need to see it again, at a more reasonable of day, to make an accurate judgement call. ;)
Love the pics - it's fun to hear your story. We just celebrated 17 years - what a feeling!
Happy Birthday to my favorite uncle. If you want we can go jump on the trampoline and you can sit by the tree and watch! LOL That is just one of the things I learned growning up with you as my uncle. You are the best and I hope you enjoyed your bday. We had fun chatting with you guys!
