Happy Birthday Larry Joe

This year Larry wanted to have a cook-out with our kids instead of going to dinner with the others that share his birthday. (Cole & Suzie)  Last year he mentioned it and this year we did it!  It was so much fun having everyone over for the day.  Justin ordered Vegas Steaks and came and cooked them.  Larry paid for the steaks and we took care of the drinks and the kids brought side dishes to go with it.  It was yummy!
The kids all came at 2:00 and they didn't leave until that evening.  It was so much fun and Larry loved it!

I love Larry!  He is such a great guy!  He just keeps getting better.  He cleaned the pantry Dec 24 and my side of the garage.  He is so fast when he cleans and does a great job.  Then on Dec 26 he cleaned the upstairs room.  My car was full a few times with things for the DI or Rescue Mission.  Larry's truck was full with garbage.  It is so nice to have those rooms cleaned.  I dread the hall closet but I am encouraged now and that will be a project for the new year.  If Larry had more days off I bet he would just do it.  He doesn't clean much but when he does he gets a lot done quickly.

Larry is a wonderful dad and husband.  I hope my kids have paid attention so they will do as good of job at both callings. (so far so good)  Larry treats me good and still makes me laugh.  He is my favorite guy!  Larry is a good friend and I know many consider him one of their best friends.  He is nice to everyone and has a huge heart.  Larry is a spiritual GIANT and has always tried to please Heavenly Father and Jesus...I think he has done a great job.  I love that Larry is my Eternal Companion....Together we have had a good life...and raised some pretty awesome kids.  I'm glad we chose each other.  I'm thankful that Larry was born.  I'm thankful that he has lived a good life.  I Love Larry!
