Happy Birthday Hartmut!
Dear Hartmut,
I can’t believe it, you are 28 today, I am married to an old
man ;-) I am grateful for a new year in your life and thrilled that I get to spend
it with you. Life with you is an amazing adventure for which I am very
grateful. Here are 28 things I love about you, in no particular order.
- The way you stick to your promises
- Your excitement about eating ice cream, any time of the day
- You are so supportive of my dreams
- The way you look when you are dressed for work
- Your broad and genuine smile
- Your eye for detail
- The crazy nicknames you give me
- That you try to steal and eat the dough, every time I am baking
- How you want to follow Christ in everything you do
- Your amazing curly hair
- How you put up with my forgetfulness and clumsiness
- The way you organise the finances for our little family
- Your dedication to the things you do
- How you love road trips just as much as I do
- You are a very patient teacher
- Your skill and creativity when it comes to decorating our house
- You are easy to miss (and boy, I do miss you every time I am away)
- Your unconventional romantic ideas
- The way you (pretend to) like everything I cook for you
- You are not afraid to tell me ‘no’ when I need to hear it
- You dance with me and tickle me until we can’t stop laughing
- Your winks just make me melt
- The way you get up early every morning to spend time with God
- How excited you get about seeing power lines and transformers (even though I do not understand that)
- The way you work so hard to provide for us
- Your emails to me when you come across things that might interest me during the day
- The way you challenge me to become a better version of me
- You are my bestest and most beloved friend
Let the cake-eating begin!
I love you,
Anneke
