Today marks Jason’s 30th birthday. It’s hard to believe that he is 30 and I am not very far behind. This age used to seem ancient and now it seems so young. I am so thankful that this is the thirteenth birthday that I’ve gotten to spend with Jason. It’s funny thinking back on that first one when he was turning 18 and we had only been dating for about a month. My have times changed since then! And I am so glad that they have.
Even though words are my love language and not his, I still want to use some to tell him how special he is to us. Happy Birthday Jason! I love you!
30 Things I Love About the Jason
1. You’re my best friend and I love talking to you.
2. You are the perfect silly balance to my serious side.

8. You give me a chance to breathe by myself some on weekends when I’ve been with the kids all week even though you’ve been at work all week.

10. You have never begrudged me a purchase of clothes or anything else and encourage me to get what I need.
11. Your “spendy” side balances out my “saver” side so that we do enough of both.

14. You were my friend before you were my boyfriend which laid such a great foundation for our marriage.
15. You pray with me and with and for our kids.
16. When I suggested teaching Charlotte’s Sunday School class you didn’t tell me “good luck” but were happy to jump in with me.
17. You don’t mind (or don’t tell me if you do) when I call and text you updates about our day because you want to know how the kids and I are doing.
