Today is Matthew's 34th birthday. We celebrated with cake last night with the team at La Finca and, of course, eggs! It was really fun. Today is a day of rest for which we are very thankful. We took Latrelle and Jacob and the Spencer boys to the airport this morning. There was a lot of traffic, so during the trip we had a really good talk with them all and it was a nice chance to get to know them all a little better. After we dropped them, off, we drove to the road at the end of the runway to try and watch a plane taking off. We were just in time to watch one take off- it was sweet! Then, thanks to a gift from a special couple that was to be used to celebrate Matt's birthday, we ate breakfast at Denny's. This may not be a treat in the states, but here it is. We've only been there once before and it is really good food! This afternoon has been spent relaxing and getting caught up on email and other things. We are about to settle down and watch some movies together and be in for the night. A great way to celebrate the day!
In honor of my husband, I wanted to share a few of the many reasons I love him.
1. He loves Jesus and seeks to be obedient to Him in all things.
2. He loves me enough to stick it out even when it is tough.

6. He seeks and respects the advice of godly men.
7. He loves to share with others about how God has worked in his life and what God is doing in his life.
8. He is funny and goofy and loves to laugh.

11. He desires the best for us.
12. He is a hard worker.
13. He is super smart and I learn so much from him.

15. I love to sit and talk with him for hours after the kids have went to bed. We share our dreams, our hopes, everything...I love this about him.
16. He thinks differently than me. Yes, I've learned this is a good thing ;) Because of this he brings to me a different perspective and we make a good team.
17. He loves to play with the kids and shares special times with each of them.
18. He has always tried to make it possible for me to be home with our kids as much as possible. For this, I will forever be thankful.

20. He helps me around the house often, not just when I ask, but many times without any prompting.
21. He has made sacrifices to provide for our family; to follow God's leading; and to live the life God has called him to.
22. We've spent 10 years of marriage together and a few more before that getting to know each other, nurturing our love for each other, and each day, I grow to love him more and more. I am thankful every day to God for this man He has given me to spend my life with.
Please pray for my hubby today as we celebrate his life. If you think about it- send him an email or leave him a comment to encourage him today.
Just a glimpse into our lives following JESUS as He leads us to serve Him in the nations. Thanks for stopping by!
