Happy Birthday, Barry!

Today is my wonderful hubby's birthday!! I won't tell you how old he is, but it's older than me! ;)


These are a couple of my favorite pictures of him from our family pictures last month. I love that he laughes with his eyes.

He has a great sense of humor, and he makes me laugh all the time. Sometimes he does it when I am really mad at him, which kind of ticks me off to be honest. But I love that he can make me laugh no matter what.

He is a hard worker and he does his best to provide for our family. He really does not like his job, but he goes everyday so we can have the things we need.

He loves to explore and see new places. I loved seeing his wonder and amazement when I took him to Idaho a few years ago. He had been to Utah plenty of times, but I think mainly he stayed in the city. To get him out into the wide open spaces of Idaho was an adventure.

He is inquisative. He loves to ask questions and learn more about things.

He is loyal and protective.

He loves simple things - chili dogs, sitting on the porch reading, blue jeans, spending time with his family.

He is a sports enthusiast... football and soccer are his favorites. Although, if hockey were on tv more he would watch a lot more if it.

He is very opinionated... I think that is standard issue for a Mayfield! :) And he can get very passionate about some of those opinions!

He is a wonderful father and husband. This month we also celebrate our 20th anniversary, and I am very thankful to have been his wife for these past 20 years. We haven't always had the most smooth waters to sail, but we have navigated them together, and grown a lot from the process.

I love you, Barry, and I'm grateful we are on this journey together!

I think I just read that June 1 was Brigham Young's bday too! Yep, strong opinions are Mayfield standard issue genes... thankfully the humor is too :) Happy Anniversary too.
