happy birthday boy + freebie

I am so happy to be able to tell you that today is my hubby's birthday! I don't want to gross anyone out, but I do have to take a minute and tell you what an amazing man I am celebrating today. My red bearded man is one of the most passionate people I have ever met. Whenever he takes on a hobby or commits to a friendship, he pursues it with everything he has and learns everything you can know about it. Because of that, he is truly a "renaissance man" - meaning that he can do almost anything.

He also has a servant's heart. Last night, I began to feel poorly and so we decided to take it easy and rest. Meanwhile, I'm thinking about all the things I want to surprise him with on his birthday. We are sitting on the couch watching a few episodes of The IT Crowd and, the next thing I know, he has gone to get a bucket of water to wash my feet. He then proceeded to tuck me in, clean up the kitchen and living area, and get me a cup of hot tea. What a man! It blew me away that he would be so selfless on the eve of his birthday.

Okay. I could go on for hours. But I'll stop here so as to save you from suffocating in his awesomeness... ha hah.

As a way of celebrating, I have a free desktop background for you! Drew is always reminding me to "be present." I tend to get lost in the wishing and hoping part of my brain a lot and he is faithful to remind me that life is best lived in the present. Just click here to download the file.
