I am the luckiest girl in the world...

Because I am married to this man...

And today is his 25th birthday!!! It's official, he is a quarter of a century old. (I really like referring to his birthday like that for some reason...!)

Oh my, where do I start with paying special tribute to the man I love the most?? Well, I should at least point out that his birthday's can only go up from the first one we spent together. This is the fourth birthday of his that we have known each other/been together. The first birthday, his 22nd, I had broken up with him two days prior. He never lets me live this one down. And to my defense, I still gave him a birthday present. :-) And this birthday...well, I will update that later.

Taylor is such a wonderful, wonderful man. I love how he just lives life to its fullest. He is never scared to try something new and just does all that he does and cares to do, to his fullest abilities. He truly has so much potential because of this ability. He is a man of many talents.

Taylor allows me to be me...I hope that makes sense...because it is something that makes our marriage even stronger. He makes me the happiest girl in the world-- he knows how to make me laugh and smile--which is something I cherish. I just love being with him, he is my best friend.
He is a teacher by nature. He teaches all who come in contact with him about the light of the gospel, the happiness we can find and have in this life, and all things that are important. This characteristic has not only blessed me, but I KNOW it will bless our children, which will bless others, and so on and so on... he is a man that will live and leave a great legacy.
He is an amazing dad. Isaac ADORES him. Something I have noticed recently, is how I will walk up our stairs with Isaac in my arms after picking him up after work, and by the second or third stair from the top, Isaac will get this grin on his face and straighten up to see his dad as soon as possible. It is the cutest thing ever. Taylor has embraced the role of being a father...he is so amazing, so patient, so loving, so genuine, just so simply wonderful.
Taylor...I love you. I can't even put what my heart feels on a daily basis when I am around you, or when I think about you, into words. You are my best friend. You bring me strength. You teach me. I picture my life with you, and am grateful for the knowledge we have that we can be together forever, because you are my eternal companion. Thank you for loving me, thank you for accepting me for me, and thank you for always being there. I LOVE YOU!! Happy Birthday babe!
