Happy Birthday Nathan.

My sweet husband is turning 23 today. He has been such a joy to be married to and to be a big part of my life. I feel so lucky to be blessed to share my life with such a wonderful, gentle and kind man.

Nathan is so endearing in the fact that he doesn't really make a big deal about birthdays, and expects very little and so grateful for what gifts he is given. However, on the ironic side, he loves to give gifts to others and really look out for them on their special day. That explains Nathan a lot. He such a giver, loves to offer and give things to people as often as he can, sometimes, when he doesn't have it for himself. His parents always tell me the was the giver in the family, so they always try to generously give back in little ways. When Nathan and I were first engaged, Nathan's mom came over to see my house, and she said that the same couch that I had just purchased at RC Willey. She had looked at with Nathan and said she really liked and thought about buying it, but hesitated in need of saving her money, she said Nathan so sincerely and seriously offered to just buy it for her right then and there.

  He is also very service oriented. He loves to serve and help others. He is also so sweet to get me a glass of ice water before we go to bed, and helps so much with the household chores, more than me, sorry to say.

 He also loves to work hard and be physical. He loves to create and invent things and even do a touch of decor, part of the beginning of our relationship was in putting our house together, that is still one thing he really likes to do. He loves to sketch plans for the landscaping and different ideas of how to do the curtains, he is deteremined for us not to buy a roman shades for the kitchen door, and insist he will make it. He is very frugal, and doesn't get caught up in the things that have no value or worth. He is picky about his things, and wants the best quality and research it out before buying it. 

 He also loves to be social, especially when he feels comfortable, usually in a smaller crowd and will reach out to quieter folks, especially at church, I love his heart of compassion.

He also loves to try new things and has a very adventurous spirit. If you are familiar with the color code, is like purely yellow. Just a hoot and always a busy body (as you can tell from these pictures). He has been a wonderful husband, that has handled sometimes my demanding ways and high expectations very well. He also shows his love openly with affectionate and service. He is so cute, he always likes to dance, so he'll grab me and a dance with me in the kitchen and sing to a romantic song, like Moon River or something. He is a gem, what can I say, He's a catch!

I love you. Hope you had a wonderful birthday, and look forward to many more to come together.
