Happy Birthday Andy!
Today is Andy's birthday. He turns 32 and so here are 32 reasons (in no particular order) the kids and I love him: 1. The older he gets, the more like a kid he becomes.
2. He is such a great support to me with the kids.
3. He likes what he does and is good at it.
4. He always is helping somebody out - never thinks of himself.
5. "Because he goes to work" (Corilynn)
6. "Because he buys new toys for us" (Lyman)
7. Cause he looks so darn cute in those jeans (he knows the ones).
8. He makes us laugh with his quick, dry humor. Oh man can he make me laugh.
9. He always kisses me before he leaves, and when he comes home.
10. "He plays with me" (Lyman)
11. He is such a softy for Corilynn (and probably all his daughters if he has more).
12. "He dances with me." (Corilynn)
13. He is a good provider.
14. He never stops wanting to learn or improve his mind.
15. He super sensitive to my feelings.
16. He doesn't speak cross or rude words to me.
17. He never hesitates to give priesthood blessings when asked and doesn't waver in his faith.
18. He is so funny about his addiction to sweets and desserts.
19. He thinks the same way I do regarding how to raise the kids or discipline them when needed.
20. He puts his family first whenever it really counts.
21. It doesn't matter what is for dinner, he never complains or critiques.
22. He would give everything he had to ensure his kids were taken care of.
23. He always finds me attractive regardless of what state of globe-ness I am in.
24. I don't have anything to complain about with him - he does everything just about right in our relationship.
25. If one word could describe Andy or there was one thing he would be known for it would be that he is "selfless".
26. He is humble. It doesn't matter how many times co-workers, bosses, friends or family compliment him he comes to me in total shock and amazement at their assessment of him.
27. He is so cute the way he gets thrilled when either of his kids can correctly identify a car's badge or logo.
28. He is so talented when it comes to talking to or teaching the kids something. He can say something once that I would have to repeat 3 times and they understand and remember it.
29. He defers complete control over some matters to me - like decorating or cooking. I am always amazed at the total trust he has in me.
30. No man in the world has softer skin after he shaves his face than Andy does.
31. He becomes complete putty when holding any infant - oblivious to the outside world, interactive and engaging to the baby, and bewitched by it - regardless of if that infant is his own.
32. He believes in me and has more faith in my abilities and talents than anyone else.
Wow that was fun! I had more I could say so its a good thing he will keep having birthdays! Happy Birthday Daddy/Andy! We love you!

Happy Birthday Andrew!!!
That made me cry. You are such a beautiful couple, and that is coming from someone who is all but allergic to sentimentality. I'm happy for you, KaraLynne. And I'm happy for 13 year old you, who knew you'd find somebody perfect. Happy birthday to Andy, and happy lifeday to you both.
Happy Birthday :)
Sounds like you have an amazing husband, which makes this journey of life a lot easier.
