dear tim,

it's your birthday today!
29.
sheesh!
and you're at work.
sigh.
our first one apart in the 10 years of, well, us.
because that's what you do.
you work.
and you work hard.
and you smile about it.
and never complain. 
because that's who you are.
[so we can stay home
and do silly things like play on photobooth all day.
kidding!
kinda.]
but that's how you love us.
and you love us well.
but boy do we miss you when you're at work!


you don't get talked about much on this ol' blog o' mine,
but people, let me tell you.
tim is the captain of this ship.
the rutter.
the anchor.
[well, God is really the anchor, but you get it.
just go with me here.]
the point is...
without him,
we'd definitely sink.
he's the beez kneez.
the cat's pajamas.


you're the girls' very favorite person in the world.
you trump me for sure.
every.time.
and you're my favorite person too.


i mean, what kind of a husband would take his wife to the cheesiest movie in the world
on the cheesiest holiday of the year?
hello, THE VOW.
[so good, by the way, but leaves you unfulfilled in the end. i needed a last kiss or something! anything!]

oh yeah, mine.
mine would.


tim, you are selfless. smokin' hot. motivated. dreamer-of-the-biggest dreams-dreamer. devoted. loyal. loved by all. and on valentines night, when you prayed over me, over us, before we fell asleep, i secretly cried [i held it in! i know!]

because YOU are my TATUM CHANNING. or is it channing tatum? so confused. lol.

and our love story trumps theirs.
so there.

happy birthday to our timmy, tim, tim.
love, your girls
XO

so sweet. john is the one who keeps this ship running too and we sunk yesterday and this morning cuz he was sick in bed. so i totally understand what you mean. i would not even be able to blog, like ever, because i'd literally have not time, he works so hard.

and no last kiss at the end of the vow? wow, that's hard core. sounds kind of tortuously romantic in a way. i don't know if i can see it now. ha!

love how you love him. and i'm swooning that you secretly cried when he prayed over ya'll:)

First. I agree with you on the Vow. Super lame ending! I felt EMPTY.

Second. You and your girls are beyond adorable, funny faces & all.

I love this post because I love wifeys who just have to carry on about how great their man is and swoon over him a bit. :) and you DO have a wonderful man! this post made me smile big, and it made my heart happy in the best way. you guys are a blessed couple. a wonderful husband for a wonderful wife. and three absolutely wonderful girls. I hope your Tim had a great birthday. :)

ps. when you said that about him praying over you? oh man. Totally made me tear up. there's nothing better than your husband praying for you and your family. <3
