What I have to say about Rick.

Rick is more than my husband, he's my best friend. The things I think people should know about him: He works harder than anyone I know. He never rests even at home. He does chores while he watches TV. He has more energy than anyone I know, but when he sits down...he falls asleep. He is willing to do anything around the house to help out, and I do mean anything...even the toilets. He's a clean freak. He likes everything in it's place. He is organized, even if no one else in our house is. He's incredibly intelligent. I think he could learn to do anything, and do it better than the person who taught him. I'm so glad he's here to help my kids with all the hard school stuff, but he's not very artistic. He's very healthy. He has great willpower when it comes to eating, and is very active...OK, he's a much better runner than I am...there I said it! He's very sensitive. He's a great dad. He feels deeply for our family, and is emotionally tied to each of us. He's a problem solver and a handyman, whether it's stuff around the house, relationships, or stuff at work, he'll find a way to fix things. He's short tempered, but that's gotten better over the years. He's not patient. If he wants it done...it should be done right away. He's fair. After things calm down, he's the first to apologize, and is very forgiving. He's quiet. He's not a man of many words. He is honorable. He conducts himself honorably at all times. His character is beyond reproach. But, most of all he loves me no matter what, and I love who he is. Happy Birthday Honey!
