31

Today Garth turns the BIG 31. Besides the magic bars, I also had a few little things wrapped like jerky (his favorite snack ever) and beer for him to open:

I got the idea for the beer from Pinterest (where else?) and realized after I wrapped it I forgot to add "and back." Oh well. He still loved it.

In honor of my favorite person, here are 31 reasons I love him:

1. He loves the Lord with all his heart.
2. The way he prays.
3. He laughs like a little kid.
4. He is protective of me.
