My husband doesn't read my blog - he says it is his way of giving me full disclosure. He assumes I write about him, and I think that's cute. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of blog worthy moments that include him, I just don't make it a habit of airing them to the public. While typically I focus my efforts on myself and my toddler, I thought I would humor him today - in honor of his 30th birthday.
30 Reasons why I know you are a keeper.....
