The Way I See You

Happy Birthday, honey.

When I look at you, I see a man who looks at trials straight on and tackles them with grace.

A man who has overcome adversities and turned them into a beautiful testimony. A man whose heart is on fire for God. A husband who adores his wife, knowingly she never has to question his love. A father’s heart that is stolen by a beautiful girl that is just as silly as you are.

I admire all of your talents, traits, and quirks. Your stability, wisdom, and heart. You bring so much joy to our lives that our hearts are continually full. I am so proud of you, Zack. I am so thankful that God brought you into my life. I know I wouldn’t be half the woman I am today without you. You challenge me, you push my buttons, and you make me laugh when I really want to be mad at you. You test my patience and you know my limits. You make me stronger and you make me happier. You love me for me and if anything, that is all I have ever wanted and needed. I cherish our friendship and our love more than you will ever be able to fathom.

Thank you for being my partner, my best friend, + my teammate.

I love your love. I love the way you love us. You are so selfless and your smile is contagious. Our life is so exciting and never boring. I love how we can make something so simple completely hilarious, especially if we are running on little sleep. I want you to know how much I appreciate you and all of the hard work you put into our marriage and our family. It means everything. You are everything I have ever dreamed of and so much more than I deserve. I love you, Zack. I see all of these things in you every single day. Today we are celebrating your sweet life and I hope it is just as special as you are.

We love you to the moon and back sweetheart, Happy Birthday.
