Happy Happy Birthday!

Today my husband is 27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Currently, he is doing the second thing on his list of "Things He Wants to Do On His Birthday," which is take a nap. We'll probably do #1 tomorrow - go to Starbucks, read a book, and drink free coffee (courtesy of my sister's Christmas gift card).

I was listening to country on the radio, and a Brad Paisley song came up, called "She's Everything." Here's a different take on his theme. I'm not using a regular rhyme or rhythm, or trying to fit the words into the song's melody, so don't even try!

He's Everything

He's a nap on the couch in the sunlight
and a glass of dark merlot
He's a can of Pringles and hard pretzels
but he avoids all sour cream

He's a blogger
A fantasy reader and a writer
He reads more than I do
He can read in Starbucks for hours

He loves cats and likes dogs
and admits to visiting cuteoverload.com
He wants to be a daddy
though he's scared of having girls

He's the opposite of packrat
but still saves the notes I give him
He's a nose-to-nose rub
and a caress on my cheek

He's a world traveler
but he loves to stay at home
He surprises me with gifts
that I don't expect or deserve

I love him more each day
and I'm still amazed
that God brought us together

He's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about him, I go on and on and on
'Cause he's everything to me
