Happy Birthday!

Here are 40 things about him you may or may not know.

He:

2. met me while we were both attending WT.
3. never gets up in the morning saying, "I don't want to go to work today!" (keep waiting for this one to rub off on me!)

5. keeps me balanced and under control (most of the time).
6. works extremely hard holding down 2 jobs and has done this for years.
