Happy Birthday to Steve!

Please join me in wishing Steve a very WONDERFUL birthday! Call him or text him at 218.731.2795 to wish him a happy 40th birthday.

I can't say enough about this man. He is AMAZING and he is very LOVED. Here are just 40 reasons why I love him.

40. He handles all the excess estrogen in our house with ease.
39. He knows something about everything and is a great partner to have in Trivial Pursuit.
38. He can fix almost anything; plumbing, electrical, broken toys... you name it!
37. He loves adrenalin rushes as much as me!
36. He drives a Harley and looks good doing it.
35. He can certainly take teasing... just ask my family 'cause we never let him forget "Birthday!" or his recent trip to the ER while hanging up Christmas lights.
34. He can sooth even the fussiest baby to sleep and not just his own children, Nixin will agree too.
33. He is a very hard worker, not just physically (he moved 5 yards of pea rock with a shovel and wheel barrow), but mentally as well. He worked full-time while completing his Master's degree; and continues working on his PHD in Psychology while teaching full-time at MSCTC.
32. He is very hard to embarrass. Believe me, I try frequently and I have given up.
31. He can dance - he even won a dance contest in Jamaica!
30. He is an excellent chef and his family is very happy that he actually loves to be our personal chef.

28. He is not judgmental. He is very accepting of everyone's differences.
27. He is patient with others, especially with me, but doesn't let our kids get away with anything they shouldn't. He is a firm disciplinarian when it comes to them.
26. He is generous. He would do anything for anyone; give up anything for others; he rarely if ever says no to anyone's request.
25. He is genuine and doesn't try to be something he isn't. What you see is what you get.
24. He is an awesome teacher - just ask any of his students.

22. He is an outdoors kind of guy.
21. He is awesome at video games.
20. He does all the snow removal in winter and all the mowing in the summer without complaint. Thank you so much, honey!!
