Happy Birthday Matt

Today is Matt's birthday, December 27th. In honor of celebrating his 28 years I wanted to brag on him a little. I have to say that I think I am the luckiest girl there is. Matthew means "gift from God" and that is truly what Matt has been to me. Matt is the most amazing husband, so caring, loving, gentle, understanding, honoring, trustworthy, the list goes on and on. I am so proud of him in every aspect of his life. He is an incredibly hard worker and through that he has always been a good provider. He is well into his career as a Commercial Lender but he is always striving to learn more and to further his career in banking. He never gives up, even when times are tough. This has been a tough year for most bankers but God has provided for Matt and he had a great year at Golden Valley Bank.

He is also the most loving father. He is always looking out for me and he is so patient with me even though sometimes I know I can be a bit of a pill. Pregnancy has had it's good and bad moments but through them all Matt has been completely understanding and he continues to have a loving attitude toward me. He is so gentle and so concerned for me and Malea's well being. I have to admit that I am excited to be a mom but I am more excited to see Matt be a dad. He is going to be, and already is, the most amazing father. He loves Malea so much and I can't wait until she can be here with us. Matt has been there with me for all of the pregnancy classes, he's read all the books, he talks to Malea when he gets home from work every night, he reads to her before we go to bed and he is always kissing my belly telling her how much he loves her. What a lucky girl she's going to be!

I could go on and on about how proud I am of my husband and how much I love him but right now I have to stop because he is waiting for me so that we can leave to go to dinner. I just have to say one more thing though... Matt I love you more than you could ever know. I am honored to be your wife. You have more integrity than any man I know and your love for the Lord inspires me to want to know Him more. I couldn't have asked for a better husband and I definitely don't deserve you, but for some reason God decided to bless me with such an incredible "gift". Happy birthday Babe!!!
