Another Year

When you're a kid, birthdays never seem to come fast enough. When you reach adulthood, birthdays come so fast that sometimes you have to take a minute to think when someone asks how old you are.

Today, We're celebrating Nate's birthday. Here are some things we love about Nate.

He works super hard. Our yard stays green and trimmed. He always leaves in time to be early to his job. He helps with the laundry, dishes, and is a great cook!

He's great with money. He's arranged a carpool to work to save on gas. He makes his own lunches so he doesn't spend so much eating out. He doesn't make big purchases without discussing it with me first.

He takes time to play with our kids. He practices soccer with them in the yard. He buys them drinks at the Chevron. He taught Jade to play chess and Rock Band.

He thinks of others. He's always mowing or edging someone else's lawn or giving out lawn care tips.

He's a dedicated home teacher. He visits his families every month even though he's never been assigned a partner who will come along regularly. He's never had one who will help out calling for appointments or give a lesson.

Chris sounds like a great guy! Hope he had an awesome birthday!

So...yeah, my lawn is...sad. You could probably even call it pathetic. Now that I know what he does I'm gonna need to get him over here- pronto. :)
