In 1958,
Elvis was inducted in the Army.
Alvin Ailey established the American Dance Theatre.
The U. S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that schools in Little Rock must integrate.
Eisenhower ordered the Marines into Lebanon at the request of President Chamoun, who feared overthrow.
A first class stamp was three cents.
Tim Tam won the Kentucky Derby.
The Bridge on the River Kwai won the Academy Award for best picture.

And, 49 years ago today, my wonderful man was born.

This is the man that the Lord created especially for me.
He knew I'd need someone who could caulk the hurt spots and offset my pecularities.
Someone who's just about the polar opposite of me.
Someone who keeps me balanced.

Since today is his birthday, I thought I'd share some of the things that make up why he's so wonderful.

1.  Anyone who likes Jennifer Anniston better than Angelina Jolie is a keeper!
2.  A man who listens to Ray Price and George Strait has to have a good heart.
3.  When I see a gorgeous woman and say, "You can't have her" he ALWAYS responds with, "I don't want her".
4.  He doesn't look at the Victoria's Secret catalogue.
5.  He lets me see his silly side.
6.  He's never cranky in the middle of the night (not that I am....*ahem*).
7.  Will sing "Mmmm, I like it like that" during Any Man of Mine by Shania .
8.  Has the most forgiving heart of any human I've ever known.
9.  Can fix things.
10. Is a walking encyclopedia.
11. And he lets me flip through radio stations to my heart's content.
12. But mostly, he loves me. He really loves me.

When a young friend of ours (in his 20's) brought his girlfriend over to meet us, he explained us this way:
"When you meet Guy he looks so mean but he's just as nice as can be.
But she (pointing at me), looks so sweet but she's mean as a snake."

It's all about balance....
