Happy Birthday Maris!!

So how do you say Happy Birthday to the best husband in the world? By posting a bunch of pictures of him as a child. Completely ignoring the fact that he has warned me to never post old pictures of him. But I think he meant the ones with his old girlfriends and the ones where he was posing in the glasses like he was on the cover of GQ. Too much info? Probably. But look how cute he was:
And if I'd known him in High School, I totally would have dated him. Look at those big mouths!!
And you didn't know that he regularly hangs out with Austin Powers, did you?
 He used to love golf, but I think he gave it up so he could spend Saturdays watching the boys play ball.
And for our tenth anniversary, he took me to San Francisco, where he attended to my every need. :)
And finally, I just want to rub in the fact that we are now officially the same age.
So Happy Birthday to the man who has spent the last 13 1/2 years of his life making me happy. He is the best dad and husband anyone could ask for. And since Janette has already taken the name Superman for her husband, we'll just call him my very own Green Lantern. I love you, hon! Happy Birthday!

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
