Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday K! Happy Birthday to you! (Aren't you glad you didn't have to really listen to me sing that song!)
Saturday was K's birthday! It's also the first of the month so we have a tradition that that's the day the Christmas tree goes up. This year we let the kids have their own tree upstairs and the adult tree will be downstairs. This is our first year with two trees and so the adult tree is still undecorated because we don't really know how to decorate it. The kids love their tree and they play under it and with it and around it all day long. It has their own homemade decorations on it from past years and so they truly are in love with this tree. It's very fun to watch.
K was gone most of the day helping with a work fund raiser and then a friend called him to go look at guns. I was going to give him my gun for his birthday but he took care of himself and bought a really scary gun that takes Russian bullets. So now we can go huntin' together! I did get him a present though. He wanted Season 1 of "The Unit" and he got a CD full of ballads from the 80's. Yes! Now we have some more really great music to listen to!
That night, K put up lights on the house with the boys. They froze but had a really great time together. It's fun to watch the boys get old enough that K can really enjoy being with them. Then, yesterday we went out to my parents house after church and had a nice dinner and blueberry pie and chocolate cake. Thanks Mom and Dad!
So, since it was K birthday and I can't post any pictures or any personal information about him, you'll have to settle for some sappy love thoughts.
K has a big heart! He appears to be a little rough but that is only surface deep. He is the kindest, most thoughtful person I know. I often tell him he should be the R.S. President. He loves people!
K is very forgiving! He will forgive people over and over and over. I think that I am corrupting him though because he is becoming more cautious.
K is very common sense smart! He thinks through things and remains very calm and rational. I trust everything and go into everything very naive or in a total panic and completely over-react. He tells me "not to show people my full hand". He is very aware of his surroundings at all times and is a very good judge of character. I totally trust that when I am with him that he will protect me and I really like that.
K is a very good Dad! He loves his kids. He will do anything for them. When they are hurt or sick, he is so much more compassionate that I am. When he talks to them he doesn't baby them but he gives them the confidence and information and love they need to protect themselves and make right choices. I love that about him.
K is my very best friend. I have been so blessed. I often wonder what I would do without him. He's a good listener. I have talked to him every night for the past 13 years and he still listens to me until he falls asleep. He makes me laugh. His looks of shock or disgust or that I'm pathetic make me laugh because I know that he is paying attention to me. I love our weekly grocery shopping date! And when we really need some time away from the kids, I love that he will go walking with me and listen to me talk and talk and talk. (I think I talk too much!) We are so opposite that it makes us the same. I love that I get to spend the rest of my life and eternity with him.
Happy Birthday K! I love you!

Happy Birthday Ken! What a great post, Laurie. He sounds like a keeper.
Isn't it wonderful when you find your best friend and know that you will be together FOREVER! It seems that the love just grows more and more the longer you are together.
You are a very delibrate speaker (writer), Such a nice way to show someone how wonderful they are! Happy birthday to your loved one!
P.s. I had to chuckle at your comment about my hubby's b-day! Guys are funny.
Hope you had a great birthday Ken! Can't believe you are 37! You couldn't have asked for a better present than what Laurie just wrote. That was so nice and I agree with her, you are a very kind person with many wonderful qualities. Laurie, you could name the gun Bulls-eye, Boom boom, Bubba, Billy Bob, Little Bra' (you know, like brother!), Bam Bam, etc. I can come up with more if you need me to!
Laurie, I have the best name for your gun--Black Betty!
OK, I look like a schmuck now. I haven't said anything I like or appreciate about Wendell. Although, I had just baby. That's a good excuse, right?
You're awfully, sweet. And Ken, of course is a gem.
too bad you had to sell that gun but o well you will probably get it again someday.
