The Birthday Boy
Guess who is 28 today? Yup! My cute hubby.
I can't help but wish him a
Happy Birthday on our blog. Bart is the most handsome, lovable, kind, PATIENT and caring man I know- he's really the love of my life. I tell him all the time that I can't believe he wanted to marry me. (Basically, I was a complete wreck the entire time we dated.. FYI.) He makes me laugh everyday. I don't know if there could have been a more perfect match for me than Bart. He is truly a great daddy to our little Whitney. I think he's probably changed more diapers than me. Bart is such a good listener, too. On one of our first dates, he took me on a picnic (and made homemade brownies)... I started talking about how I wondered why the leaves changed colors in the fall. Well, he actually researched it for me and on our next date, he explained why. How's that for sweet? Although Bart doesn't remember the first time we actually saw each other- that first encounter is burned into my memory. It was at Andrea Facer's house on the day of Bart's missionary farewell. I thought he was the hottest thing I had ever seen. He didn't even notice I was there. Two years later, I saw him again at our annual back to school BBQ at the Pillar House. Once again.. he didn't notice me. (Are you seeing a trend?) Finally, I caught his eye as he came to the Pillar House to visit Andrea. I had been cleaning the bathroom and was not in presentable clothes. When I heard a knock at the door, I decided to cover up with a big winter trench coat. It probably looked a little weird because it was about 85 degrees outside. But when I opened the door and saw those beautiful blue eyes- it was like magic. I know that is probably the cheesiest thing to ever write on a blog.. but it honestly was. It really felt like magic to me. I know that he didn't feel a thing. I immediately went upstairs and changed into a cuter outfit. We started dating and almost 2 years later, we were married in the Salt Lake Temple. It really was the happiest day of my life. I am so thankful to be sealed to my very best friend for time and all of eternity.
Happy Birthday. I love you so much, Bart. Thank you for marrying me.
Baby Bart. Look at that little upper lip.
