Mike was born 31 years ago today. I am so grateful for him. I absolutely turn to mush when I talk about him because I feel like he is the most perfect person for me. I love him more than I ever thought I could and he loves me more than I deserve. These last 8 years have honestly been blissful; not pain or trial free, but still crazy good because he is always by my side.
There are so many things I love about him, but one quality I am eternally grateful for is that he is the least stubborn person I know. He is always so ready and willing to apologize and change. I talked to him about something that was bothering me a couple of weeks ago, and today he is a new man. He has completely fixed that little flaw and was grateful I talked to him about it. He wasn't mad or defensive, he listened to me and understood me and always makes me feel like he is on my side. He is humble and constantly trying to be a better person. During the first few years of our marriage, every Sunday he would ask, "How am I doing as a husband? Am I taking care of you?" And he wanted a real answer of how he could improve. With me, he is truly a saint. I want to be more like him. He is the reason we have such a happy marriage.
To celebrate his big day, he slept in, received a delicous breakfast in bed (but ate it with the kids downstairs), went to church and to a million meetings, ate a yummy dinner and dessert with friends and opened a couple of presents. Jace and Parker found things around the house and put them in bags and were so excited to watch Mike open them. Mike played the part. He didn't get anything too fun, but he bought himself a big flat screen TV. Happy Birthday to you baby! You deserve it.

Happy Birthday Mike! After reading this post I went to Jeff & said..."why can't you be like Mike Romney and ask me on Sundays if you are being a good husband and meeting all my needs?" (I love my husband and he is great, but does not ask me that) He said he is going to have to have some words with you Mike, as you are making him look real bad. I just said he should take some notes! You guys are the cutest couple, a great example to all.
What a great tribute! Will you email me your phone number, I lost it & would love to talk!
