They say it's your birthday...

Well for another 6 months, Dustin is officially older than me.  I have to embrace those six months since my wrinkles are showing before his.  Like most men, he is aging gracefully and still is as cute as the day I met him ;)

As we creep closer to 40, I tend to think of our age more in terms of how long we have been together rather than our actual age.  So Dustin and I have been together for 15 years!!  Wow, not sure that makes me feel any younger....

15 years together and you really start to get to know someone.  In many ways, Dustin and I balance each other out.  He is more logical, I am more emotional. He is an observer and quieter.  I am not.  We choose different things to get worked up about, so we can calm each other down if necessary.  On the things that matter though, we are very similar.  I think that as you grow older with a person you do change, and while your love never waivers, you do learn to love different things about each other.  

When you first meet Dustin, it can take a while to figure him out.  But if you take the time to get to know him, you will be glad you did.  He is quick witted, smarter than the average bear, amazing with music knowledge (he would win on "Name that Tune"), caring, opinionated, strong willed, and fiercely protective of his family. 

I am beyond blessed to call him my husband and have my daughters call him Daddy.  LOVE YOU to the moon and back, Dusty!!! XOXOXOX
