You know those people you meet one time and you know that they are special, different somehow, and you are intrigued and instantly want to know them better? That's how I felt when I first met Andrew, when I was 18 years old. There was no romantic interest or girly crush going on here, but Andrew made an impression on me in the few months I knew him before I graduated high school. He came into my school as a substitute teacher at that time. He was kind, mature and made friends with the guys. He was also godly and handsome (still is!) and someone you just liked being around. The students respected him even though he was young. I left for college in San Diego for 4 years and would think of him from time to time wondering if he was married, what he was doing and just thought he would make an excellent husband and father....little did I know that I would get to experience that first hand!
The Lord richly blessed me by bringing Andrew into my life and I have no greater joy than raising our children with him. For this birthday we were in La Jolla and we had fun celebrating there! During the day we went to the beach and tried to body board- hilarious! Andrew and Weston had a breakfast date, left overs for lunch and then out to eat for dinner. Andrew LOVES crab and usually picks that for his birthday dinner, since we never have it any other time of year :)
After dinner we came back to the condo for "cake". Andrew also loves banana cream pie so we had that. I really wanted to make him one myself, but it was just too hot to turn on the oven!
Weston loved helping put in the candles and I didn't have the heart to move them evenly over the pie, he was so proud of his work.
Happy Birthday Babe! We love you so much!
