Happy Birthday to my BEST FRIEND!!

TopTEN reasons Nick rocks:

10.  He has a passion for family, and knows how to put first things first. 

9. He lets me be me.  Whether it's no shower/no makeup and pajamas in the afternoon, he will still compliment me and make me feel beautiful.

8. He's smart and passionate, a dangerous combo!  Just mention politics and get ready for a ride :)

7. He works so hard to provide for our family. 

6. He laughs harder than anyone around, especially when it's at his own joke.

5. He might not cook, but he will get me takout from anywhere/anytime.

4. He always smells good.

3.  He has more patience that I could ever have, I think that's why God gave him to me, to kinda balance me out.

2. He looks to Christ for his example on how to be a father. He is so loving, so fun, so exciting, so unbelievable at being Blake's dad. 

1.  He gave me Blake.....and for that I couldn't thank him enough.

Happy Birthday Monk, I hope you know how much you mean to us, we love you.
