My husband is 39! Suddenly 40 doesn’t seem so old, it’s just around the corner. Ben is awesome. He is killing his 30’s! I love him so much. Did you know that he cooks a nice meal every Sunday? and usually invites some of our extended family to join us.

Did you know that he just bought his Dad’s 1982 Honda Motorcycle? It’s the one he grew up riding. He is nostalgic and he is loving it.

Did you know that he has received half a dozen Eagle Scout mentor pins from his time as Scout Master? The boys love him. They still come over looking for Netty. Sometimes in the middle of the afternoon and I’m like.. He’s at work… doesn’t your dad work?…i guess they just see him as one of the guys 🙂

Did you know that Ben can handle our 6 kids with ease? The first and second kid there was a learning curve but now I leave at a moments notice and he has a better grasp on those guys than I do. They listen to him.

Did you know that he loves to tend to the garden? If it were up to me we wouldn’t have one but he loves to work out there and enjoy this world God created. And unwind after work. And let his dog follow him around the yard. And as long as he plants raspberries then I am on board.

Did you know that Ben goes to work every day without complaining? No matter what is going on at the office he stays positive. He doesn’t even complain if the baby has kept him up half the night or when I get to stay in bed until 9am. His positive attitude is 1 of the big reasons I wanted to marry him.

Did you know that Ben is not afraid to try new things? If I’m not good at something I stay away from it. If Ben isn’t good at something he tries anyway and eventually gets there. He is one of the most well rounded people you will meet.

Happy Birthday Ben!
