Happy Birthday Jeremy!!

Today is my dear husbands birthday so I thought I would share a little bit about him.

When he was born he came out posterior (that's bum first right?) and he had the cord wrapped around his neck, if I remember correctly I think he was small but his mom said that it was the hardest most painful labor because of his position...that doesn't surprise me at all, that labor was a little premonition of him as a child. He might be small but he could pack a punch....that sounded really cheesy.

Anyway, he grew up mostly on farms and got into a lot of fights as a child...I don't really know why, I don't even know if he knows why but he has scars all over his knuckles to prove it! That trend lasted up until about two years ago when he punched someone out in the Bi-Mart parking lot...he said right after he did it he thought, "What am I doing? I have a family at home I can't get in trouble." So he said he got into the car and drove around in Philomath for a while and then came home. To be honest it's kind of sexy.

When we were dating he would talk to me in Spanish all the time and we would write notes to each other in Spanish (mine were lacking a lot of skill but he still keeps them in his wallet).

Two weeks after we started dating we told everyone that we were going to marry one another....we got married two years later...that sucked.

Jeremy has two brothers one older one younger and two younger sisters. All of the sister in laws were pregnant at the same time last year.

Jeremy went on a Spanish speaking mission to Nashville Tennessee. He had to come home early because his knees were swollen to the size of grapefruits...and they also thought he had a brain tumor. Turns out it wasn't a brain tumor (yay) but it's benign inter-cranial hyper tension which means he constantly has a headache that can very easily turn into a migraine...it used to be paralyzing and he would bleed from his eyes and ears but that hasn't happened for a loooooong time (knock on wood) and he had to have knee surgery on both his knees. Since we've been married he has had 4 knee surgerys.

Jeremy is an amazing provider, he has worked really hard our whole marriage and I am so proud that I've been able to stay home since I was 8 months pregnant, I haven't worked since December 2003 and Jeremy has made that possible for our family.

He always tries to get me what I want, it's a blessing and a curse, he spoils me so much that I don't even realize it, I told him he needs to be firmer with me and tell me I don't always get what I want...he's doing much better, I kind of think that's sexy too...he never tells me no so when he does, I like it!

He loves his little girls so much, I have a feeling he's going to handle them being teenagers better than I will.

He has the most amazing blue eyes...Elle has his eyes...I never thought I would have a baby with blue eyes.

He's incredibly strong.

He is really funny but no one knows because he never talks to anyone.

When he laughs really hard it sounds like a snake hissing. It's really cute.

We're almost exactly 18 months apart, 18 months and 11 days.

He really loves his family, not just us but, his extended family, my family, his family, he cares about them so much, everything that has to do with family matters to him.

One more thing, I know this sounds cheesy but he only calls me "Babe" I never thought anything of it but I can always tell when he's upset with me because he calls me "Christa" and it causes me to have whiplash. I never hear him call me by name so I know he's serious when he calls me by name, I really love that he calls me "Babe" because it kind of makes me feel like one still.

I love you Jeremy, you are the best husband and the only one for me, no one understands me like you do, you love me no matter what, even thought I am the worst housewife ever you never complain and it means so much to me, I know that we were meant to be. You are a wonderful father to our beautiful girls and they love you so much. Happy 27th Birthday! Muah!
