Today is my lovin man's birthday. I love my husband:). He works very hard, loves our mighty God deeply, seeks the truth, is not afraid to speak the truth, loves (and I mean loooooves) a good story, believes this world is not his home, fears God and rarely life, treasures people not things, loves to laugh, spreads joy, seeks knowledge/wisdom/understanding, marvels at Creation, leads our home with strength, makes a mean pancake:), enjoys just hanging out with me, takes risks, revels in adventure, listens to all my babbling, affirms me, encourages me, challenges me, loves Scripture passionately, keeps me warm, likes my cooking, prays for me, respects me, calls me just to say hi, and last but not least, he is a hunk! So I thank God so much for my mate and thanks to Dad and Mom Shupe for all their years of raising #4, the middle child, Jonathan Lee! Happy 28th birthday!!
I'll join in the happy birthday-wishing! You're just turing 28, Jon??? I think I'm catching up to you!
ReplyDeleteYou're a stud indeed. And that there picture is one of the coolest one's I've ever seen. Who took it?
Thanks Joel!! And yeh I think you are catching up on me. I think by now you are only like 79 days behind me.
ReplyDeleteAs for the picture, I think it was an Angela (could possibly be a Blake) picture. It is at the Zambezi River at Victoria falls. That is a rock ledge that Blake and I scrambled out on. It was all slimy wet from the continual water in the air. One of those places that is beautiful and accessible because it is not in a western country like the USA.
Hey, I'm a jerk, cuz I didn't write you a comment (or better yet, give you a call) yesterday. So yeah, you can pretty much just call me a jerk... which you do anyway. And I can call you on the phone tomorrow or this weekend... which I do anyway, too. Happy birthday, buddy. You caught up to me. I think I'll have to jump ahead of you again later this year. Oh yeah -- I wouldn't have thought of you as a hunk until I saw you tear down that chimney. Way to go and prove your strength. My dad was pretty impressed at your work, I think. I could ramble on, but LATE IS THE HOUR IN WHICH...... you know the rest.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday (again)!! That is a great picture.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Melissa, The Out-law
A belated happy birthday, Jon. I got back last night at 8:45 from my stint as cook for the Tuscola Florida Breakaway and I am catching up on my email and blog readings. Did you know, Angela, that my hubby sent me flowers while I was gone? I returned from a beach trip with the students, etc, on Easter Saturday and found the lovely bouquet of fresh cut flowers Lynn sent. What a sweet gesture from my loving husband. WHAT A GUY! Arin told me to show them to Paul so he would get the hint! I hope you have 36+ wonderful years like we have had! And with more to come!
