Thirteen Things I Love about Josh

In Honor of His 25th Birthday this coming Sunday!

1.  From the day he was born, he has been the most cheerful, happy child I have ever known.

2.  He picks great friends that have been "forever friends."

3. He has set high moral standards for himself, and instead of giving in to peer pressure, he usually WAS the peer pressure.   

4. He loves the Lord with all his heart, and is never ashamed to share his beliefs with others.

5. He has always been a great help to me, even as a little boy.  He always is willing to help his "poor old mom."

6. Family is important to him.  He helped take care of his grandma when she was dying of cancer, and would rather be with his grandpa than just about anyone.  We all know that we are loved.

7. He's a great athlete.  I have such wonderful memories of all the games and track meets he was in through the years.  Those were exciting days!

8. He loves music as much as his mom.  We've had some great times sitting at the piano singing and playing together. I loved watching him sing and dance in show choir competitions, too.

9. He is an excellent actor.  I loved watching him in the lead of "Twelve Angry Men."  He is such a good actor that he can pull some pretty ornery tricks on the rest of the family, and we fall for them every single time.   

10. He is a very good teacher.  Not only good at teaching hi students, but even me!

11. He's so doggone good looking!  He should be a model.

12. He has such a good work ethic.  His bosses always comment on that, and it makes me so proud! 

13. He picked a wonderful girl to marry, who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.  This past summer she became my "other daughter" and I love her as much as my own kids.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOSH!  I LOVE YOU!  BUT HOW DID YOU GET SO DOGGONE OLD??????
