The big 3-0.

Today this little stinker, the man that I love with all of my heart turns 30! I can't even handle how ridiculously cute Derek is in this photo! It's crazy to think that I have loved him for most of his 20's and that I get to love him for all of his 30's. He truly is the most incredible man and I am so proud to be his wife. We have had adventures all over the world together, he has supported me through absolutely everything and is a huge reason why I get to do what I do, and I am so grateful to him. He is the most patient man I know, he is funny and loving and kind. He's the go-to tech-y guy in the family, but will do just about anything for friends or family when they need a hand. All around, he's just one of the best guys around. Fact.

Derek, if you're reading this, know that I love you to the moon and back and I'm so so glad that you were born! I can't wait to see what our thirties have in store! Now it's time to close my computer and go celebrate you!

Happy Birthday Rudy!
