Usually I wouldn't even attempt to do this because JC does not like the spotlight being on him- ever. The last thing he wants is me boasting to everyone about him on his birthday- which isn't even until April 4th, but I wanted to post a few days early. Good thing he loves me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get away with this! He checks in on our blog every once in a while so Happy Birthday Love! Tucker and I can't wait to see you! Soon- very soon!
Let me just say- first off- that he is my hero- I know I'm cheesy when it comes to saying anything about him, but it's all true. He would probably make fun of me for saying it, that's why I'm posting it instead! I'll just list a few of the many things I love about him.
1- He doesn't understand why people adore him so much (even strangers). Everywhere we go, people are drawn to him. He leaves a lasting impression on everyone, even people he barely meets for a second. He had me hooked from the first second I saw him;-)
2-He is very honorable and always "chooses the right." He is filled with integrity and is an example to all of those around him, especially me.
3- He is very very trustworthy. There isn't anyone else in the world I trust more than him.
4- He is very courageous and very brave. I think that speaks for itself, given his job. You have to have those attributes to be a Marine, but I'm sure it took a bit more courage to walk away from his very pregnant wife and leave for 7 months. Which leads me to his next quality-
5- He is very trusting. He knew he had to trust Heavenly Father to take care of me and Tucker while he was gone. He also trusted me to pick out our house without him actually being here- he has only seen pictures. That's a huge deal- I don't think I could have done that.
6- I love the way he lovingly makes fun of me- it makes me laugh.
7- He likes what I cook, even if it's bad.
8- He lets me be me and loves me know matter what. I'm a pretty big nerd, but he loves me for it.
9- I love that he went to the Naval Academy and played football there. I think it's really hot! He actually took me there (to Annapolis) on one of our first couple of dates and that is where I fell pretty hard for him.
10- I love how committed he is to anything in his life. Not only to me and Tucker but he also commits himself to fulfilling any calling he is asked to do (even though he doesn't think he does), and he is very committed to doing his best at his job. It's actually crazy how hard he works- it wears me out to just hear about his days.
11. He's very athletic! Very hot!! He is going to be a great coach to Tucker. Good thing JC is athletic because I don't have an athletic bone in my body. Oh well!
12- He's brilliant! Almost every Ivy League school I could possibly list wanted to recruit him right out of high school.
13- He is very talented at EVERYTHING- He is amazingly artistic, and is an incredible writer as well.
14- He would do anything in the world for me. He has me on a higher pedestal than I think I deserve to be on.
All of these things make him an amazing husband, and I know that even though he is on the other side of the world, these things make him an incredible father as well.
We Love You!

Go to deseretnews.com and search for the title "blogging moms".
Let me know if you can't find it. Oh and your last post is my favorite and makes me teary, he is something special you can just see it without even knowing him!
That was so sweet. I love all the pictures you posted throughout the post, especially that last one. You guys are one great couple. It was fun to see you on Sunday, and I am so excited for you and your little family to be reunited in only about 3 weeks!!!
What a great tribute--I feel like I know him even though I've never met him.
I'll email you. We are totally open right now--it would be fun to get a group of people together for lunch on Sat. Are you free?
Once again, you almost made me cry and I've never met your husband. He must be wonderful. I especially love the last picture. I can't wait for you all to be together again! However, I know that those posts and pictures WILL make me cry.
PS I want to see some wedding pics posted!
JC does rock! It was so fun seeing you guys date when y'all lived back here in Virginia! You were and still are the most adorable little love birds! Hope all is well!
I just found out we have lunch plans with family Saturday but we are free Saturday night after conference. Ben's going to go watch priesthood with his brothers and then we're going to go do something. We'd love to meet up with you then. I'll email you my cell. Good luck moving in!

Beth... I pretty much need to have some tissue handy whenever I read your blog! You and JC are the sweetest couple! I can't believe he is almost here! Can I say that you are a little hero in my eyes for how strong you are and for what a brilliant mother you are to Tucker! We love you guys and hope to see you soon.

Oh, Beth-you are awesome. And from the sounds of it, JC isn't so bad himself:). I am so excited that he will be coming home in a couple of weeks. I am sure it will be a very memorable first family reunion. LOVE YOU!
Happy Birthday JC... We can't wait for you to come home :)

I just checked your blog to see how much longer until JC gets home. Next week! I'm so excited for you!
Sorry we didn't get to see you while we were in UT. If you guys want a getaway when JC comes home we have 2 guest rooms that are far away from the master!

This is beth wolfe (now robinson) You came to my wedding reception, 11 years ago, so you knew that I got married. we are living in Chattanooga again. don't ask how many blogs i went through until i saw your name. i am so glad to see that you are doing well. are you living in GA? you have a very cute family and that was really sweet of you to do a blog just for your hubby. maybe steve will get one someday.
