Happy Birthday to my ter-RICK-fic guy!

Happiness is spending every day with your very. very. best. friend.

I love that God knew exactly who I needed.......and who needed me. He created Rick and I for each other.

I prayed many times as a teenager for my future husband.

I couldn't wait to meet him someday!

He has many amazing and Godly characteristics that I love and admire.

He really loves God. He really loves me. He really loves our kids. Those are probably my three favorites.

He is masculine. He is patriotic. He is punctual. He is funny.

He loves coffee, hunting, burritos and pick up trucks.

He LOVES his church! He loves his people so much. I wish everyone could see his heart like I do. He so much wants each of them to grow in their service for the Saviour.

He sacrifices for his children. They think he is the greatest guy in the universe. And they are right.

He loves and collects sermon tapes and listens to preaching every chance he gets.

He loves good music and makes sure we have a wide variety of it in our home.

He is quick to forgive and he doesn't hold a grudge.

I love him more every day. He is my every dream come true, my every prayer fulfilled. "I fell in love without the fall; I jumped right in my heart and all."

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart! I love spending every day with you!
