The last edition of my blog featured President Monson, so I knew I needed something to top it. Finally, I found the perfect topic, Andy. My computer/movie/ fast car loving husband. It is my Drew's 30th birthday! I have teased with him that for his birthday I bought him a car, but seriously, I have not come up with a birthday present yet.... So I thought I would surprise him by posting his birthday on "his" blog. Andy is too modest to say anything about it, so I thought I would. Last year his birthday came in the usual fair/week before school starts rush, and a few people forgot about it. Andy and I still get a good laugh that Allstate was one of the only people/ business to remember.
But not so this year! I want everyone to know, including him, how very much I love him. He is my very best friend. I was so blessed to find him when I was so young. There were people who thought we were making a mistake getting married so young, but I could never take back the time I have had with him. I will never regret my choice. I get to spend my life with someone who understands me, before I do. He listens to me explain my every thought of everything, from why I cooked tacos for dinner to what I messed up this time, and on and on and on. Thank you for listening. I can't help but think of how spoiled I am to have a husband who cares about and trusts me as much as he does.
Kallie and Brian are always excited for any birthdays at our house, (because of cake and dinner's out) but this birthday is the most exciting because it is their Dad's. They love him very much and can't get enough time with him. We don't get to be together a lot right now, so it is twice as exciting when their "daddy comes home." Kallie thought for sure her daddy needed some new lip gloss and Brian knew he needed a new computer cord, if he could find the right one. (Andy will not be getting either). They found other gifts that he would like better.
I know that Andy has had a hard time turning 30 this year, but I look at it as nine and a half years we have been together. Where has time gone? I love you Drew. Happy Birthday, and here's to the next nine years.

Happy Birthday Andy! I hope your day is wonderful. Mikey, Kiersten, and Luke always look forward to seeing Uncle Andy and his cop car. I hope you get to enjoy the day and prepare the road for the rest of us that have to turn the big 30 this year. We only will get to tease you for so long before it will be our turn.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to my 1st little boy. This really lets me feel old but I wouldn't trade you for youth. When you are as old as me it doesn't matter anymore. Thanks for being a wonderful son and thanks for finding wonderful Natalie for your forever sweetheart.
I love you!!!!
I love this post. I am a little bit of a goober that way. Any posts about how much spouses love their spouses get me all teary eyed. You've always been a great big brother and a great example. I am with Natalie though on the thirty thing. It would be depressing to turn 30 if you were all alone and familyless. Instead it can be a celebration of how far you have come in 30 years and what a great person you have made of yourself. We love you and your family!
