30til30: Day 29

I have 30 days until I turn 30, so I thought I'd try to choose 30 moments that have helped shape who I am and want to be. Coming up with the list has been challenging...and enlightening. These final few ARE in a particular order.

29: Dave.
I married Dave because I thought he was pretty cool. I was wrong. He's REALLY cool. 

Here are some of my favorite pictures of him:

What I love about Dave:

• He's cute.
• He always wants to try and do the right thing.
• He's sensitive.
• Never saw an episode of Seinfeld, but he watches Family Guy. You do the math.
• He is the most talented and creative person I know (ALERT: I am not, repeat NOT, overstating this).
• Dave is old fashioned in a lot of ways.
• He is the funniest person I've ever met. I mean, hello?
• When we decided to care for Candace full time a while back, he was awesome.
• He is brave. 
• If you think you know what he's going to do, you probably don't.
• He makes me laugh like no one else.
• Dave loves America (but not more than Jesus).
• He is a really good writer and editor.
• Three words: jedi video master
• I love that he has no idea what the previous statement is referencing (no, i'm not kidding).
• He has "mellowed" in a lot of areas. 
• Dave has a very unique perspective. A lot of people think they have him pegged. They don't.
• He...sigh...loves weather.
• He also loves everyone I love...and they love him. It's awesome.

How he has shaped me:

• He's made me more adventurous (and afraid of heights at the same time).
• Before I met Dave, I had a plan (that sounds bad, but trust me, it isn't).
• He pushes me to be more creative without even knowing it.
• He loves me in spite of myself, which has made me a more confident, loving person (I hope).
• His story reminds me that God is sovereign, merciful, mighty and loving.

Dave - 

I just want to tell you three things:

1. I'm really proud of you.
2. I am happy that you're my husband.
3. You are the best man I know.

I Love You.
(ok that was four. so SUE me)
