to the handsome birthday boy

I wanted to write something to Jeremy for his birthday, I decided my blog would be a good place. 

Jeremy, there are no words to describe what you mean to me. 

You have taught me so much in just the last 6 years of knowing you. 

To name a few:

1. it's okay to be goofy

2. it's okay to be awkward

3. it's even better when you're both

4. crocs are the most comfortable shoes

5. cheap/free dates are the best

6. closing your eyes during prayer is optional

7. being kind always pays off

8. watching the 'prophet' on Sunday is fine

9. taking an hour of your day to focus on someone else is so simple

10. inviting people over for dinner is fun and doesn't have to be stressful

11. avocado toast is the bomb

12. nestle quik chocolate powder is way better than chocolate syrup

13. it's okay to fix spaghetti once a week for dinner

14. we can serve something other than pizza for Friday's dinner

15. Settlers of Catan is actually a fun game

16. keeping in touch with your siblings is better than facebook

17. calling someone to wish them a happy birthday means a whole lot

18. getting the cheapest flowers is the way to go

19. going with the flow is better than stressing out over little things

20. making goals for yourself isn't just a new years thing

21. loving you is the easy part

I love this picture. Matching pajamas. Smiling, happy babies. My sexy husband in his onesie pajamas!

I love you more even though:

you are so dang cheap

I throw your dirty socks down the laundry shoot more than once a week

you teach our daughter to fart on command

making me awkward is always on your to do list

you refuse to hang up your dang coat every.single.day.

you only will drive a cheap car

you don't fill up dirty dishes with hot water so they can soak

you snore

won't let me have more than one light on in the house

always switch the nice smelling soap as soon as our guest leave

always close the curtains as soon as you think the sun has gone down

waiting until you're out of deodorant to tell me you need more

Christmas lights!

Thank you for being my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, and the one I can always talk to. Thank you for being an honest, worthy priesthood holder and for always being a great example to me.

Thanks for doing this whole parenting thing with me and learning as we go. I want no other person beside me going through life, than you! I love you Jeremy Ryan Pitchforth.
