This year Aaron's birthday has a little bit of a different feel to it. It is hard to explain... He is turning 32, he is so young with so much life ahead, but with recent events from the past few months we realize what more we have to celebrate! Everyone of us has something big to celebrate each year we live another year of happiness, health, faith and with love.
I was running with my dad the other morning and I started to talk about Aaron. I started to tell my dad how lucky I feel to have had the past 5+ years with Aaron as my husband. It took me awhile to find him, and a little more to realize the amazing gem I found. Once I realized it, that poor had no chance! I truly won the Lottery of Life by getting the boy to marry me. As we continued to run, I had time to think about Aaron. I thought a lot about the past 6 years I've known him. Such a short time, yet I feel i've known him truly since forever. I really feel like I began to live when he entered my life. He has been one of the greatest blessings and joys in my life. He is my best friend, my soul mate, my partner in crime and my most trusted confidant here on this earth. I truly am so glad he is mine and I am his.
I known so cheesy and sappy, but so true. If you know Aaron, then you will know why he has made my life so wonderful.
I just really wanted to honor him today by sharing some of my thoughts about him. It is really for him to read, but I thought why not share it on our blogs for others to learn more about him if they choose.
People ask me all the time if he ever yells or gets really mad at me or others? No, he doesn't. He really truly doesn't. He definitely has his moments where he is upset, but he seems to cool off so quickly and let things go so easily, it is truly amazing to me. Especially because I can be so hot headed at times. Others ask me if he has things he does wrong? We all do, but really the only thing that stands out to me that he struggles big time with is his driving. He sometimes gets mad in the car and at other drivers, I really think it is funny and just laugh at him.
Aaron is really quite funny. You really have to know him well though to see this side of him come out. I only think there are a few people out there that really know the "true" Aaron. He comes off very shy and reserved. But, he can be really fun, funny and outgoing. Sometimes we just sit in bed and laugh so hard.
Aaron likes almost everyone he meets. He always thinks the best of them and gives them the benefit of a doubt.
Aaron is a man of great faith. He studies the gospel fervently and truly tries his hardest to serve to his best ability. He loves to serve and always puts the Lord first in his life.
Aaron works hard. He never stops. He never relaxes and doesn't allow himself to be idol. It's hard to ever get him to just sit down and relax. He is busy and loves it. He keeps us on our toes here and he always has an adventure planned.
Aaron is bright. He is a dictionary when it comes to words and their meanings. He is always thinking and sharing new ideas. He loves to be informed, and current on life and the world. He works hard to keep his mind active and bright. He studies hard and truly loves to learn.
Aaron is a good dad. He is so caring and loving. His girls adore him. He is learning how to discipline. He is too nice and is learning how to be a little more firm. He gets frustrated when he does discipline and hates to see the girls cry. He has the biggest heart for his girls and loves them so much. I love to watch him play and read with the girls. His greatest desire is to raise them to be strong, faithful and virtuous women.
Aaron is a fantastic husband. He will tell you differently if you ask, mainly because he has no idea how good to me he is. It's just how he is, it isn't something he has to work at or think about. He always is serving me in some way and thinking of how to ease my burden. I know he loves me and he truly is a sweetie.
Aaron is a worrier. I share this as a good quality. After most conversations or other experiences he worries about how it went. He wants so dearly to make sure he never offends or hurts someone else. I have to constantly remind him that what he does or says was good. He truly cares about others and wants them to feel appreciated and cared for when they are around him.
Aaron hates attention. This is why he will hate this post, why he hates his birthday, he hates having to ask others for help and never wants me to do anything to honor him. He likes to be on the sideline and help others shine.
I'm so grateful for this amazing man in our lives!
Happy Birthday Aaron!!!
We love you more than you will ever know.
MS-Meacham Strength!
