Happy Birthday my love!

On this day, 25 years ago, my husband was born. He, along with his twin brother, came into this world two months premature and he almost left it shortly after that when his lungs collapsed. But the Lord had other plans for Brian Casebolt, plans that, to my delight, include me! I often look at my husband and my heart overflows with thanksgiving to the Lord for him. He's so loving and caring, a wonderful husband, and a great daddy! I'm amazed that I have the priveledge of being married to Him!

Just recently I found a list that I made several years back that I titled "The type of man I want to marry" It wasn't one of those long impossible lists that you hear about girls making that could only be fulfilled by Jesus or possibly the Apostle Paul, but it was characteristics and such that I hoped would be present in the man that I eventually married. Things as simple but important as "He must love and be pursuing the Lord." To more silly things like, " I hope he likes roller blading". When I found that list the other day I had to smile as I read it because there wasn't one thing on that list that Brian didn't more that fulfill. I laughed as I thanked the Lord, I hadn't even remembered that I wrote it and yet the Lord had seen fit to give me everything I had hoped and prayed for on that sheet and so much more!

Tonight I'm taking my husband out to dinner, alone, for the first time since Chloe was born! I can't wait.



Brian Casebolt, I love you with all my heart.

There is nothing I love more than serving you,

finding ways to show you how much I love you,

and caring for our home and daughter for you.

I pray that the Lord will give us many more wonderful years together.

Like I've told you many times before,

my favorite place to be is by your side with my hand safely tucked inside of yours.

Happy Birthday my love!
