A Teacher.
A Son's Hero.In tribute to my hubbie's 29th birthday (June 13th), I put together this lovely list of 29 reasons why I love him. I thought of so many but had to condense it down to twenty-nine. I hope you get to know Nate as I know him. It will be pretty apparent as to why I fell in love with such an amazing man.
**29 Reasons Why I HEART Nate**
1. Nate is an amazing father. This is in fact an understatement. There are no words for the kind of father Nate is to his children. I melt everytime I see he and Golden play together and when he holds Brynn.
2. Nate loves to learn. He is constantly seeking for ways to increase his knowledge. You can always find him at the library or book stores. One of our favorite dates in Hawaii was to go to Borders in Honolulu.
3. Nate is SMART. It comes from his love for learning. There is nothing he doesn't know and if he doesn't know it, he will "google" it :o).
4. Nate has a great sense of humor. He is so much fun to be around because he will always bring humor to the table.
5. Nate is compassionate. I can always count on his compassion to get me through sad times.
6. Nate loves the gospel. I fell in love with Nate's testimony before anything else. You know how much Nate loves the gospel just from being around him.
7. Nate love sports. It's nice to have married a man who is good at every sport there is.
8. Nate is a hard worker. He is very driven and very diligent.
9. Nate loves to be active. Our funnest times together are when we are outdoors and being active. Being healthy is a priority to him.

11. Nate is an excellent teacher. I've learned more from Nate than you could ever imagine. He has become my greatest teacher.
12. Nate is a great speaker. I've always enjoyed listening to Nate's talks at church. They are always filled with so much wisdom and testimony.
13. Nate is a softy. He likes to pretend he's rough and tough but he is mooshy in the inside. My most precious times with Nate are when we are cuddling.

15. Nate has a little bit of "nerd" in him. He's the most attractive nerd I've ever met.

17. Nate is a peacemaker. Everyone loves Nate because he can just get along and be "cool".
18. Nate is tall (6 ft. 3"). Our children have a 50% chance of being taller than 5 ft. 4". HOoRaY!
