Happy Birthday to My Husband Ian

Today is Ian??s 30th birthday. He didn't ask for anything and he wouldn't tell me what he wanted to do, so I got him something that will hopefully make his job a bit easier and I made some low key plans for this weekend. Somehow, it just doesn't feel like enough. I wanted to throw him an elaborate surprise party with ample decorations, his favorite foods and all of our friends, but that is more like something that I would want, not Ian. It is not Ian??s style to want to be the center of attention or, God forbid, surprised.

Ian has been my best friend for 8 ?_ years. We've had our ups and downs, as any couple has, but we have managed to come out on top every single time. We are polar opposites in many ways but we fit together like 2 puzzle pieces. We each contain the missing parts of the other. Whatever I lack, he has extra of and vice versa. However, our values and ultimate goals are similar and over the years we have found quite a bit of mutual interests. Fortunately, our parenting style s ended up being extremely similar and we agree on most everything when it comes to our daughter.

For my husband??s milestone birthday I felt that I needed to tell him how much I admire, appreciate and love him. I wanted to say all of the things that I don't say on a daily basis. I felt that it might mean more if I do it publicly, as he once did for me long ago, but I didn't feel like Facebook was the most appropriate place. So I thought, why not DXP?

Even with his faults, in all seriousness, Ian is an amazing man. He is strong, safe and masculine, without being egotistical or chauvinist. He relishes and perfects his role of being male, while believing whole heartedly that the female sex is equal and just as important in every way. Ian is never sexist, even in jest. There are no power plays in our marriage. For this I am thankful, as my husband believes I can do anything I put my mind to even more than I do. He has faith in my abilities when I have none.

Ian puts his family first, and by that I mean his immediate family, his wife and daughter. We come before his friends and we come before his extended family. I know a lot of people who wish their husbands were home more. I don't have to worry about that. He is always with us and he was that way even before our daughter was born. There are times when I actually encourage him to go out with his friends for I feel it has been too long since he has done so.

Having a child, we barely get any time alone together, let alone any time alone by ourselves. He doesn't complain though, even though I'm sure he probably feels suffocated at times.

Ian is an amazing father. Ian has surpassed my expectations of him as a father by ten-fold. I can honestly say I have never witnessed a better father in my life. He is amazing with her and she is so in love with him. They have a special bond that I know will last forever. He is completely involved in all aspects of her life and displays a gentleness with her that I did not know existed here on earth. He is so patient with her, so much more than even I am. He would rather spend time with her than with friends, which says so much to me. It is truly a joy to raise a child with this man as my partner.

Ian is attractive, extremely so. I remember when we were first dating I kept waiting for him to find someone thinner, sexier, prettier than me. I kept waiting for him to leave me for a super model or something. He is certainly the most attractive person I have dated. He is far more attractive than all of his friends and he is more attractive than all of my friends?? husbands (which of course I revel in). I know you have all seen photos of Ian, but seriously, they don't even do him justice. You really have to see him in person to truly appreciate his dreamy eyes, his perfect skin, his bring-you-to-your-knees smile, his strong arms, his sexy back and his tight ass. I could go on forever but I will stop with that. Ian is fucking hot. I thought so then and I still do now.


Ian is intelligent. Ian knows so much about so many things that it is baffling. He is a master of his trade (it's true, literally!). He is so good and knowledgeable at what he does . He is a perfectionist when it comes to his work and it makes him shine above the rest. There is so much more involved in his job than you would think. It doesn't only take skill, but actual talent, which he has bundles of. I'm so proud of him and his achievements. In fact, as I type this, he is building part of our new house. How amazing is that? How many people get to say that their husband built their house with his own hands? I can't wait to move in and point out to everyone all of the things that Ian did. His intelligence goes much beyond his skill. He is a deep intellectual person without being annoying about it. It's fun to debate with him as he makes such good points (I d

points (I don't let him know that during the debate of course). Ian is quite possibly the most all around intelligent person I know.

Is Ian perfect? No, not even close. Perfection doesn't exist. But, he is the closest to perfection that I was able to find and he is perfect in every way that is important to me. While he has faults, I accept them and can live with them. I even love some of them. I have never met a greater man and likely never will. Ian, I appreciate you, I am thankful for you, I admire you, I want you, I am proud of you, I am happy with you, I am content with you and most of all, I love you. Happy 30th birthday.

P.S. Oh, and by the way, it is MUCH more glorious than even the infamous pic could ever portray, believe me.

This here is a fine example of what love and life should be about. How beautiful! Happy Birthday Ian and what a lovely wife you have. I wish you both a lifetime of prosperous joy!

This is beautiful. Thank you Virgo for sharing your heart for the world to see. Happy birthday Ian, and many continued years of happiness with the best choice in woman you could have ever made.

Happy birthday! 🙂

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ian!!
