Steve, you are my best friend. My days begin and end by your side. Whether I'm shaking my head or laughing 'til it hurts, the truth is that nobody makes me smile like you do. I love that.
When I think back to the beginning of our friendship and romance, it was that same ability to make me giggle that brought us together. (Well, that, and your beautiful smile, kind eyes, strong frame...and ghetto booty!) During those weary and exhausting days of dealing with that pituitary tumor, I found myself looking forward to the chance to sit next to you. For that 50 minute block of time I felt great. You would grin and tell me about your latest soccer humiliation and Coach Hardy story. I knew you were genuinely concerned about my health, but you had a way of setting me at ease and taking my mind completely of the pain (as well as the Snavely class we were forced to endure.)
Flash forward 10 years, and your charm and genuine love are carrying me again. Every step of Blake's journey you've been there, holding my hand and comforting him. We love you. You are the joy and fun at the center of this type A little family! Let's keep praying that God gives you an adorable little easy-going, charmer of a child to balance out the scales!
I am glad I can say that I have been part of a full third of your first thirty years. I am thrilled to know I get to come along for the next thirty. You will always have my heart. You will always make me smile. You are a man of strength and godly character. Here's to the next ten years being even better than the last!
I love you!
