HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY


I’ve known him since I was 15. He was a stud in our church youth group. I married him when I was 19. He’s still a stud! Today (the 17th) is my husband, Dirk’s birthday.

This man is quite amazing.

Here are a few things he has done in his life:

He is an ordained minister.
He graduated with a Sociology degree from Oklahoma Baptist University.
He helped birth our 7 children.
He built our home with a hand-held hammer, mostly by himself.
He has owned and operated his own successful business for 33 years
He has worked hard and allowed me to stay home with our children
He is a great money manager
He is an amazing grandpa to our six grands
He will do anything for anyone and does!
He loves completely
He is a man of integrity and consistency
He tells really corny jokes…that are very funny ; )
He makes me laugh
He’s taught me to lighten up and enjoy life
He is my mentor
He has helped shape me into the person I am today.

Do I make him sound perfect?

Well, he is…….. for me!

Happy birthday honey. I love you!!
