Happy 30th To My Hubby!

Today I am celebrating my amazing hubby! Michel is 30 today! Unfortunately he has a super long day at school for a project but I have been talking to Bentley about his dad all day long! We were in Virginia Beach this past weekend at my brother's with most of my family. We had the best time and got to celebrate Michel on Saturday night with a seafood dinner (all you can eat shrimp and crab legs...Michel was in heaven) and yummy apple pie that my sister-in-law Janelle made. It is a tradition in our family that on birthdays we go around and all share something we appreciate about the person. So it got me reflecting on all the reasons why Michel is amazing. In that vein, here are some of the things that I love about my man!

His passion for life

His heart for those less fortunate

His unselfish attitude towards me and our family

Watching him be a dad to Bentley

His honesty and humility

His boldness in pursuing and living out his faith

The way he encourages his friends

His discipline

His sense of humor

The way he encourages me to be more of the person God made me to be

His belief in me

The way he pursues his dreams

Hanging Out

Hooray for spring break! We finished exams on Saturday and have the next week free. Given our car is out of commission we don't have many options as far as going places, so we are here making our own fun. Thankfully Bentley is pretty good at entertaining himself (and us). We are looking forward to a visit from Grandpa (my dad) and Nate, Janelle and the boys later this week, in addition to heading to Charlotte for a day or two to watch Davidson and GA Southern play in their conference tourney. For now we are enjoying just hanging out!

After we came back from a walk I caught a glimpse of the shoes at the door and had a "moment".

Our friends Spencer, Emily and their son Andrew have saved the day (thank you!) because they are letting us borrow their doorway bouncer which has become Bentley's new favorite thing. And it allows him to burn some extra energy before nap or bed time!

And lots of laughs....this is one of my new favorite moments (definitely top 10) since being a mom!
