Today is my wonderful husband’s 35th birthday.
Doctor G is gettin’ old!
Not really.
If 50 is the new 30, he’s practically pubescent. LOL
I honestly love this man more with every year that passes. He’s a treasure and I absolutely know it.
God picked this one for me and he has been the greatest gift. Sadly I’ve not always appreciated him and understood just how incredible he is, but I’m making it my life’s work to be mindful of it now and love him the very best that I can.
It seems like just yesterday that he turned 33 and we celebrated with a smorgasbord of junk food.
As I was searching through the archives for posts celebrating him on his birthday I found only that one and it made me so sad.
I could write every year for the rest of his life and still fall short of describing how he has blessed me and how much I love him.
Because I feel like 35 is a kind of a milestone, I’m gonna let you in on 35 of the many things I love about him…

You two are such a lucky pair. You are ‘cut from the same cloth’ as they say…both so caring, happy, and passionate. What a wonderful example of true love and putting in the effort to make marriage work the way it was intended. I am blessed to have you in my life!
Aw!! Thanks Jenn :) We feel very blessed that God brought us together and continues to knit us together despite our many challenges. We are blessed to have you in our lives!
In tears, might I add…How he always makes ANYONE he talks with feel like their conversation is the most important one he’ll ever have. I thank God with you for your wonderful husband, Rebecca. He’s one of God’s best, and of course, I’m so partial to “Andys.” Hug him for me…AB
