Happy 30th!!

Well, as always, I'm way behind on my blogging. And although I'm 3 weeks late, I wanted to celebrate Jacob and his 30th birthday. So here's to you, my amazing husband who I feel so blessed to be a part of your life!

(at 3 months old)

Jacob has so many admirable qualities! He makes me smile daily with his sense of humor and "smooth moves". He is sensitive and compassionate. He loves learning. He has supported my dreams, which sometimes means spending 3 months in Africa. He's adventurous. He's artistic. He's passionate. And I just love him!!

(during our 3 months in Ghana...this was at the farm of a lady traditional healer who we spent a very strange afternoon with crammed in her little house while a huge storm blew outside. But Jake was well prepared with his coke and sprite.)

I love that Jacob can always be found conversing with the people he's with, especially if it means he gets to use a different language. Whether it's with the school children in Ghana or the farmers in Peru, I always find him in the middle of a circle of locals.

Thank you honey for all of the sweetness you bring to our marriage!! I love the little birthday blog you posted for me.
