It pains me to see these photos of us in our very young, premarital state...we only had 1 chin and could wear a belt! Who knew those things would be considered gifts? But I digress...
Here are my current Top 10 Things I love about Randy!
1. He's a great dad!
Landon gave him $13 for his birthday.
That is the sweetest thing ever and
evidence of his love for Randy.
Whitney drew this on our high-quality, energy wasting
window this morning as Randy left for work.
4. He takes care of our family.
5. He is always good to me, always.
6. He scrimped and stressed to make my Paris trip possible.
7. He is very good to my family.
8. He is a great primary teacher.
9. He is clean!
10. He still makes me laugh on a regular basis.

Happy Birthday Randy! I hope 41 is very, very, very good to you.
I loved your list, Jill. What a good man Randy is.
Those pictures remind me so much of Landon. It was like I was seeing him in ten years.
Happy Birthday Randy!
oh the $13 says so much. sweet.
Randy you always, always make me laugh. you are one of the most talented artists and here is to another 41 years!
Happy Birthday to Randy! I really like him and my kids fell in love with him while he painted here. He is so very talented in the art department. You have a great husband on your hands!
Look at Jill with her arms around her man! Happy birthday, indeed. Boim chickee, what, what!
Happy birthday Randy! Can't imagine our family without you. We'd be a lot less plaid and we would know way less random facts if we didn't have you. Have a good one!!!
Happy Birthday, Randy and many more!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday to Randy!
My kids make me things, never money.
Kelly and I have been together for 15 birthdays. I haven't been good to him for any of them. sigh.
I'm sorry, but I am stuck on #3. He makes dinner on Sunday?!!! Who is the man? I am desperately jealous....then I am finally able to move on and discover that he is also clean. I would like him to conduct a seminar for other husbands. I think it will be great for both of you - he will rake in millions.
What?! You're off to Paris in less than 48 hours?? Can I just come with you?
41 definitely doesn't have the same connotation as it did when we were, say...25.
What a sweet list. I love it - all excellent qualities.
Happy Birthday to Randy! I am amused by the "Stoner Dude" reference on your scrapbook page. That's a great list of things to love. The gift from Landon is just too sweet.
Are you ready to leave in less than 48 hours? It's crunch time, I guess!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! How precious is that Landon gave Randy $13?!! Holy Cow!! That is so cute!
I agree with Michelle - every Sunday! HELLO! That is fantastic!!
..my little just gave me all his change in his pocket yesterday as he knocked my telephoto lens off the counter and it shattered. 47 cents.
Sweet gesture.
I have spent 22 birthdays with my guy. Nope - he is out of town this month - so 21.
COUNTDOWN....soooo excited for you!
That is really a fabulous list. Wonderful qualities, all. It might be something to review during times of frustration!
Yes, my list definitely changes...
It's so so cute that Landon gave Randy $13. I can maybe see my kids doing that for Marc, but not for me.
In November, we will have been together for 19 birthdays! Unbelievable.
Happy Birthday to Randy and Happy Travels to you!
What sweet kids- they sure love their dad!
Love the old pictures!! I agree with Jane, totally can see Landon!
Happy Birthday to Randy! As of last Saturday I have spent one birthday with my significant other. Have a great trip to Paris!
Have you read Elegance of the Hedgehog? If so, maybe a Joanne Harris. The sequal to Chocolat maybe, or Blackberry Wine was good.
Unless you don't want to read about France while your in France.
Or maybe Michael Pollan's book, since you'll be going somewhere with excellent food.
Or the Julia Child book, if you haven't read that one. These are all great ambiance books that I think would only add to the magic of a Paris trip.
Unrelated, my mom keeps trying to get me to read The Housekeeper and the Professor.
My dear, I have your book! And, I would mail it to you, but my sister is borrowing mine right now. You are going to France, you need to read the Josephine Bonaparte trilogy by Sandra Gulland. (#1: The Many Lives of Josephine B, #2: Tales of Passion, Tales of Woe, #3: The Last Great Dance on Earth)
What a great man & how great it is that you appreciate him!
Holy is right!!!!!!!! and .....if you are not ready! Hey, congratulations Randy. Randy is the man! Seriously Dinner.......gosh, I am going to have to schedule a sunday diner with you guys one of these days! 41, JUST A PUP! after my 30's they all seem thirty something, and the same thing is happening in the 40 front.....16 years celebrating alf although we celebrated probably 4 before that... Alexei and Jorvik often give me the change that I drop at the end of the day...mobile piggy bank...as you know!
You might get something there....even though yesterday there was no mail, I caught the big mail truck, and said, can you take it? and he said...you are lucky we are only doing express mail today! So you just just just might!
bon voyage.....bon voyage....bon voyage! And don't forget to get me a magazine (fashion or home...)
Good men are worth keeping around. I'm glad you have one.
A fun non-Paris related book that I will be suggesting for my book group is......
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley.
It is a mystery set in 1950's England. The herione is a very unique 11 year old. This is a fun book and completely CLEAN.
Have fun in Paris!!!!
ok...that makes me want to cry that Landon gave him $13. What a sweet boy. I am sure it meant so much to Randy.
I LOVE that picture of you guys!! You both look so young.....crazy how time flies by........
I would add that he designs fantastic Christmas cards! How wonderful to be able to say that he is always good to you. At the end of the day, that's what really matters!
Kim and I have shared 5 birthdays.I am strssing about hers. She makes 40 next month and wants a playstation. That plus the games = not exactly in our budget now so I am kind of stessed. However, she rarely ever asks for things so I hate to not get it for her. We'll see...
I adore randy and think he is fabulous. And I especially love that he will dance with me.
Landon's gift is the sweetest. Tearing up.
What an angel he is for making dinner every Sunday!!! You are a lucky woman. So sweet of him to get you to Paris, too.
