Best friend

Today is a very special day. Its the day that my sweet husband and best friend was born. I am so grateful to have found such an amazing partner to go through life with. We have such a blessed and fun life and Ben makes sure we always have something exciting to look forward to. He has always supported me in my career, to stay healthy and in shape, to challenge myself in so many other ways. He has opened my world to lots of new things and we do them TOGETHER! He doesn't leave me behind if I can't ride as fast as him on a mountain bike, or if I want to descend a little slower if we are scuba diving. He tells me he knows I can do it and pushes me out in the ocean on a 12 foot stand up paddle board when my heart is racing and I'm not sure that I want to go... We feel the same excitement when we get on a plane bound for a new destination that we have never been to before. I love his enthusiasm for life and for the energy he brings into our home. My love for him grows deeper when he sings a silly song to our baby girl, smooches her and so obviously melts when she smiles and coo's at him. I love him for being such a good papa. He is so much more than a husband to me. I love you Ben. Happy Birthday.
