Happy 25!!!!

Happy Birthday, Jim!

I love you so much.

I thought I'd share with the blogging world 25 reasons

why I love you since you're 25 today!!!!!

(Let's forget that your birthday was yesterday :) )

Here it goes:

1. Jim is a beautiful man. In fact, some of the Young Women in the ward call him "Ken" as in Ken & Barbie.

2. He's a wonderful father. His children think the world of him because he's willing to give them his time and his love even when it's not always convenient for him.

3. Jim has a heart full of SERVICE. I'm always left a widow on Sundays because Jim is out fellowshipping the neighborhood.

4. He's passionate about work. He puts his heart and soul into everything he does and he does it solely to provide for his family.

5. HONESTY - sometimes he's a little too honest and will just say right then and there what he is thinking. He's not afraid to tell you what he thinks. This sometimes has been embarrassing for me, but he's learning to improve on the things that come out of his mouth and I'm learning from him to overcome my problem of being afraid to speak up!

6. INTEGRITY - Jim's heart is one of integrity. He stands firm in what he believes and shows it through his deeds.

7. Jim is a softy. He cries watching just about every chick flick or family movie or listening to a talk given. Sometimes he'll even cry when he tells me he loves me. (he's probably going to kill me for sharing that).

8. He's a manly man. He loves hunting, fishing, camping, watching action movies, and he can even eat a whole box of pizza all by himself! That's pretty manly if you ask him.

9. Love his smile!

10. Good kisser. enough said.

11. He's an amazing wrestler. Okay, that sounds gross and I didn't mean it that way. What I mean is........well.....he really is a great wrestler! He took state every year at Highland High School. Every wrestling photo I have of him, the ref is holding his hand up (meaning Jim won). However, being married to a good wrestler sometimes is NO fun. He knows how to get me in a lockdown that is impossible to free myself from! and then I get angry.

12. Jim has an incredible voice. Just kidding! I know I'm mean, but it's actually an advantage for him because when I'm frustated or irritable he knows how to make me laugh......he just starts singing. Really loud and obnoxious too.

13. Very patient. Back to me being irritable.......he always knows when to leave me be or help out around the house.

14. Sincere.

15. Tall. That's attractive.

16. Gorgeous blue eyes.

17. He tells me I'm beautiful.

18. Dependable. If he says he'll do something for you, he means it.

19. Jim is a family man. He loves to spend time with us more than anyone else.

20. Perfectionist - Being that Jim is a contractor, he makes sure the work that he does is perfect to a T. He would never expect anything less of himself.

21. Gratitude. Jim is always reminding me of the many blessings that we have. If it were Jim's choice, we would be living in a small little trailer out in the wilderness. True story.

22. Jim is not a picky eater. I love this about him because I LOVE all kinds of food too and he's always satisfied with what I cook him for dinner.

23. This boy can dance! One of our favorite things to do together is swing dance.

24. My best friend.

25. He loves me for me. I have never felt like I have had to impress him, even though it is fun to. He knows who I am deep down and even after all I put him through, he still loves me.

Here's a few of my favorite pictures of him.

He still is full of hottiness even if he's wearing five party hats on his head.
That's the smile I love. Look at his eyes when he smiles. So cute.

There he goes with his hand up again. What a stud. Would you get a load of those legs!! Woo woo!!

Getting his haircut right before a hot date with me.

Mission Farewell. There's that cute smile again. Love it!

Our weddin' day!

I love you, Jim. You're my favorite.Thanks for choosing me.

Happy 25!!!
