Happy Birthday David!

Today is David's birthday, so I thought I'd write a few of my thoughts about my best friend and husband in honor of his birthday.
Characteristics I love about David. . .
He is always ready to make me laugh, even when I'm fit to be tied, it's just what I need to calm me down.
He is such a hard worker-on this I must elaborate, He went to school WAY TOO MUCH SCHOOL in my book, got his undergrad degree in Bioloigy, went on to get his Dr. of Chiropractic degree by taking 29-32 credit hours a trimester year round with only 2 weeks of break a year for 3 long years. Then Got his post-doctorate degree in Neurology by taking another 300+ hours of seminars on the weekend, studying like mad, and passing the Board test which has only a 25% pass rate for those that complete all of the above and make it to the test. After all that (and the student loans and debt to go with it). Three of his work days are 10+ hours with patients (not including paperwork time, plus two long (5 hour) half days (including saturday mornings) leaving him with no real weekend ever. Then he comes home to tend things at home and complete the projects that I have for him to do, that and helping with the 3 kids. He's amazing!
He always has a plan to survive the worst.
He loves God.
He cares for others.
He's a wonderful father.
He's not afraid to try.
He puts up with me, understands me, and loves me anyway.
He can cook really well when he wants to. And I love those evenings when he decides to. 80)
He's excellent on home repair, fix-it, and built-it projects (although don't ask him to do the plumbing or paint). You should see the pergola he's currently building.
He'll eat anything that I cook for him-no matter how strange it sounds (well as long as no ingredients were close to their sell by date).
Well I could go on, but the kids are calling me so I better run.
Happy Birthday David!
