  Thirteen Things About  MY HUSBAND  Today is Jesse’s birthday.  Happy Birthday,Honey! 1.  He is incredibly even tempered.  Rarely expresses anger.  Oh how I envy that quality in him!  He finds a way to enjoy some of the same things I enjoy.  Even things he formerly disliked . . .  intensely.  Like cats, for example!   2.  Instead of using cuss words, when frustrated or after hurting himself, he says, “San Antonio!”  (no slight to those from San Antonio!!)  Even the little girls say that now when frustrated with something they can’t do easily.   3.  He pulls our children into bed with him and cuddles them and coos to them about how much he loves them and asks, “What would I ever do without my Goose?” (Luci)/  If he loves you, he lets you know it.  He has the best bear hug, ever! 4.  He can quickly assess when I’m overwhelmed or not feeling well and jumps in to give help or has me sit and he and the girls finish.  All five of our girls adore him!    5.  I love the way one of  his rough and calloused hands feels when it holds mine. 6.  He remembers people, their names, and a piece of story about each person.  EVERYONE likes him and no matter where we go, we almost always run into someone who says, “Jesse!  How are you doing?!” 7.  He likes his coffee with sugar and cream.  “Sweet and light, like you babe!” . . . although I’m not . . . *sweet*, that is!  I AM light compared to his beautiful black hair and dark olive skin. 8.  He WANTS to take his family out to eat because he says he knows we stay home and eat at the house all the time.  Well, I *think* it’s because he wants to treat us . . . maybe he’s *really* tired of my cooking ???  Oh well, I won’t go there! 9.  He is a PRAYER WARRIOR par excellence.  He is an intercessor for anyone God brings to his mind.  NOT a gift I have – intercessory pray, I mean. (No picture here.  I’m not as brave as my friend, Amber!  tee! hee! – private joke!) 10.  He is hysterically funny.  Reminds me of Robin Williams – but with a clean sense of humor.  He says things others would like to say, but would never dream of saying.  And, somehow, he gets away with it and leaves people holding their sides from laughing so hard.  The room lights up when he walks into it. 11.  He genuinely cares about others.  He is there in a heartbeat for anyone in need and always trying to do “the right” thing.  He is there for us (his family) in the same way. 12.  He is a hard worker.  One of the hardest ones I’ve ever met.  It’s hard for him to slow down or take a day off because he feels he should always stay busy.  I worry about him not slowing down, but I also have nothing to worry about as far as him providing for his family.  He’s a “worker” even if that means picking up our yard after it was T.P.’d!!!!   13.  He tells others what a great wife he has!  I’m sure he exaggerates, but people tell me all the time how crazy he is about me and his children.  It was his idea to “get married again” on our tenth anniversary in a casual ceremony!          Gosh!  I’ve run out of numbers to list.  Only 13?  There’s tons more things I can think of, but I find myself at the end of the Thursday Thirteen list. Happy Birthday, sweetheart.  May God continue to richly bless you with everything your heart could ever imagine, and more!! I LOVE YOU!
