Today is my husband's day of birth. Nothing like a birthday to make you realize how much you love the person that God picked out specifically for you. We are very different, but somewhat similar. Sam is such a nice compliment to my very rough edges. He is meticulous, focusing on each and every single little detail, while I see the grand scheme of things. I am to the point, I try to explain everything in one sentence or less. He gives detailed explanations, making sure to explain everything fully. I am an ENTJ, he is an INTP. Sam is cautious and anxious, I am reckless and careless. He takes his time in all he does, I like to get things over with as soon as possible. He is sweet, I can come across as mean-spirited. He can enjoy the moment, I am always looking around the corner. He is trusting, when I judge. He follows policy and procedure, I question it at every turn. He is traditional, I am not. You can see where this is going.
However, we do see eye-to-eye on many things, politics, God, raising our child(ren)- I am still trying to convince him to have 12, by the way- saving for the future, the need to explore the world, and our love for each other. We have fun together, we question each other, push each other, laugh together everyday, we are each others confidante, best friend, and coach. He does a lot for our sweet family and is the most loving father. I was not aware of this until I realized that he WANTS to do things that most fathers would never do, and he does it willingly and without complaint. Mallory and I spent the week in MP without him last week, we had a nice time, but life was just not the same, it was not as easy. He makes me feel special, and needed, and smart, and most of all loved. I am blessed. Mallory is blessed.
This birthday is a little bit sweeter, as we know some good news is being finalized (no, I am not pregnant) although we are not ready to announce it juuuust yet. I will say that Sam deserves this sweet birthday, an nice contrast to last year's that we spent in the ER. I hope all of his birthday dreams are coming true. I love him more than words. I have found the one my heart loves - Song of Solomon 3:4.
