Okay, Keith's birthday was yesterday, but that didn't make the French Silk pie from Village Inn any less delicious.

Oh, I love my family of boys!Keith is now 34. Normally, people don't like having their age plastered all over the internet. But since he won't stop going on about how old he is, I'm going to go ahead and share it.
He is truly an amazing person, and when I tell people about him, I'm not sure they get a clear picture of who he really is.
Keith is a double math and physics major. Before going the "traditional" college route, he spent a semester at ITT Tech. (Quote unquote traditional, because really, how traditional is completing two degrees over eight years, while raising two children, supporting your wife through medical school, and maintaining a full time job. Like I said, this man is amazing!) He reads calculus and physics books for his nighttime reading. He loves circuits and has a multimeter/voltmeter that he uses to figure out just why the light in the car stopped working. He spent the last several years to research and development for a dental product company. He now wants to go to dental school.
All of this is 100% true. But if this were all you knew of Keith, you'd barely know him.
Keith loves 80s movies and music. He laughs until he is close to crying over Tom and Jerry. He obsesses over football statistics, and then sulks for days if his team, where real or fantasy, does not do well. He would be perfectly content to live for days off Mountain Dew and cold pizza. He knows how to build a house and fix a car. His check book is always perfectly balanced, but he never puts his socks away.
All this is true too. And yet, there is still so much more to him.
He is an amazing husband. I've said it before. He has supported me when I'm sure everyone else would have given up. He loves our boys with a passion and never ceases to amaze me with his patience.
Happy Birthday, Keith.
I'm so glad I have the opportunity to celebrate another one with you.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Keith! I have so much respect for your husband, and have also been amazed at his level of patience with your boys. Seriously, its second to none, he is a great father and husband. Also, he's FUNNY! I still laugh, and hard, when I think of the things Keith has said.
ReplyDeleteI know and love all the things you have named about Keith, yet he is so intelligent and quiet that I still feel as though I have only had a rare glimpse into the amazing person he is. I think however that you have somehow managed to have one of the world's largest diamonds! (Oh, and Keith, I was wondering if I could be as OLD as you?) Happy birthday!
