Things That Are 50

50 years ago the year was 1964! Man, that was a long time ago, wasn’t it? June 15th is my husbands 50th birthday as well as Father’s Day. I am constantly amazed at how brilliant, patient, caring, compassionate, kind, loving and well just all around good guy he is. We often joke about him being “the old man” because he’s  13 years my senior but in reality he’s young at heart and silly in spirit. He lives his life with integrity, doing the best he can to roll model for our 4 daughters not only the kind of person they should strive to become but the kind of person they should strive to partner with…I could go on and on but I won’t because well if I keep this up I’ll be sobbing over my computer.

Aaaaanyway,
