30 Things

This Saturday (Halloween) is Kevin’s 30th birthday so today I thought it would be fun to put together a list of 30 things I love about him.  It was surprisingly easy to come up with this list (which I guess is a good thing) so I hope he enjoys reading them.  I know I struggled a little with turning 30 this summer so I hope these things can be encouraging to him as he enters a new decade. 🙂

1. He is hardworking and never complains about having to go to work.
2. He loves Jesus and points me to Christ.
3. He has a good relationship with his parents and talks to them often.
4. He is intelligent and one of the smartest people I know.  He knows so many random facts and people at his old job called him “Google”.
5. He loves to learn and is constantly reading about new things.
6. He watches and reads the news daily (something I don’t do) so always fills me in on what’s going in the world. 🙂
7. He is a rational thinker and gives sound advice on most subjects (even though I don’t always like to hear it).
8. He puts up with all of my little quirks and still loves me well.
9. He has a calm demeanor and is extremely level headed which balances all of my anxiety.
10. He thinks I’m the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen and tells me often.
11. He can’t wait to be a dad and often talks about coaching Little League and helping the kids with their homework. 🙂
12. He has had a name picked out for any future daughter since he was a teenager which I think is the sweetest.
13. He gives of his free time to tutor kids and has coached basketball in the past.
14. He keeps a beard because I like it even though it makes his face itch.
15. He is very fashion conscious and dresses nicely.
16. He goes along with all of my plans I make for us and never complains about doing things he doesn’t want to.
17. He is really good with directions and can just glance at a map and know how to get somewhere.  Another nickname of his was “GPS”.
18. He always wants to be with me (quality time is his love language).
19. He is very technology savvy which I am not.
20. He is good with numbers/budgeting and takes care of our bills and finances.
21. He is and desires to be the provider for our family.
22. He loves to travel and go new places.
23. He pushes me to try new things.
24. He is supportive of any decisions I make.
25. He always drives, fills the car up with gas, and takes care of all car related things.
26. He goes to school at night on top of working full time so he can get his MBA which will benefit our future.
27. He always wakes up early to shower and get ready so that I can sleep longer. 🙂
28. He doesn’t mind doing the grocery shopping which is not always my favorite activity.
29. He makes me laugh.
30. He is soft spoken and has a kind heart.

I could probably continue, but those are just a few things about Kevin that I love.  Happy Birthday, Kevin!  I hope you know how much you are loved and treasured.
