Today my husband of thirteen years turned forty. We began planning weeks ago for the perfect weekend for our much loved dad and husband. We gave him a cake...filled with rock and roll and ASU Football...just like he likes. We bought him a Bloodhound affectionately called Ruby the Red Freeman. We took him out to eat and TRIED to be on our best behavior. We visited his parents and grandmother and threw in a dose of the in-laws for kicks and giggles. Finally tonight he received a Ipod Nano filled with ALL of his favorite songs...about 500 already. ALL THIS PREPARATION, POMP, AND CIRCUMSTANCE simply to recognize the things we know to be true:
1- Andy is a good person. He often comes across in a gruff manner but we know the things and people he loves... he loves deeply. 2- Andy wants to be successful and does not mind sharing his success with others. He willingly gives credit where it is due. 3- Andy likes to have fun. He is full of himself and wakes up with a loud WOOOO HOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO every morning.
4- Andy wants to make the world a better place. He has high expectations and desires for the world to improve, be better, and realize the numerous blessings God grants us. 5- Andy is a part of our life that we cannot imagine being without. We appreciate his efforts to make our lives more comfortable and happy. For that... we love him deeply.
So on this day...Hats off to you Mr. Shrek.... May the next forty years be filled with blessings beyond your wildest dreams.
