Today is Stephen's Birthday (also happens to be the first day of spring- woohoo!) and we are planning a fun little BBQ dinner, with German Choclate cake. :) I liked what our friend Trish did for her husband Jackson, so I'm going to copy her idea too- he's turning 38, so here are 38 things I love about Stephen:
1) He is an amazing Dad, loves to wrestle with and love on his kids
2) He is always making me (and everyone else) laugh
3) He is a country boy and outdoorsman
4) He recommends what I should make for dinner so I don't have to do that part!
