birthday boy.

happy birthday to my sweet, perfect husband, slim!

slim is so special, and on his special day 

i thought i would let you know a few

 of my favorite things about him...

slim is a dedicated physical education teacher & really

practices what he preaches. he loves his students &

works hard with them to teach healthy habits & skills to improve

their fitness & futures.

he also motivates me to train harder & smarter & to get stronger.

also, he's super strong & is really easy on the eyes.

we have fun&laugh together.

is there anything more important?

he's a super fun & goofy & sweet uncle.

(here with his baby doppelganger, oliver)

he's a real city boy, with county boy moves.

he plays along with my love of fashion & wears

(pretty much, w/ some exceptions) anything i buy for him.

(this pic is from my birthday in december where he sported

a totally hip denim shirt i had bought for him like 4 years ago.. 

he said he was just waiting for the perfect moment to wear it)

he's a crazy attentive dog-dadio, really patient & can fix pretty

much everything. he's a bit of a perfectionist when it

comes to chores.. especially hanging pictures and crown

molding. i'm constantly learning from him the art of home improvements.

jim loves bikes.

road biking, mountain biking, beach biking, cyclocrossing, etc.

i like bikes.

jim is such a solid biking mentor. he is patient & knowledgeable.

he encourages me to tackle my fears & never laughs when

i fall down, flip over or scream in terror.

he's a real keeper & i'm happy he's mine, all mine!

happy birthday to my sweet, sweet slim.
