Right here I would love to post a picture of Rock and I, but the problem is that I don't have a picture of Rock and I together that isn't a few gazillion years old or on anothe computer. Anywho, Rock's birthday was yesterday, and I love to celebrate his birthday. Why? Because the way he wants to celebrate is so simple and lovely at the same time.
We ate dinner together as a family. Then opened presents. We got him a nice leather Bible cover,because he wanted to be able to carry more than just his Bible to church. And we gave him "The Apple Dumplin' Gang" and "The Apple Dumplin' Gang Rides Again," because our family is just corny and campy enough that we love the old Disney movies. Plus it just doesn't get much funnier than Tim Conway and Don Knots.
After presents was cake, marble with canned frosting. I have yet to figure out why he would rather have canned frosting than my homemade frosting. I make a killer chocolate cake and frosting. I think he is just trying to save me a step - which I appreciate. Finally, we stayed at the table and played Sorry as a family.
It was a perfectly simply and perfectly perfect end to the day.
On his birthday Rock makes me appreciate him even more. I can't say enough about how wonderful this man is. God gave him to me because I needed him, and God doesn't make mistakes. I am the stronger personality, but Rock is the stronger person. I am lost without him, and don't want to know what my life would be like if he wasn't around. He loves me unconditionally, and I give him alot of conditions. I'm sure he gets frustrated with me (I get frustrated with me), but he loves me inspite of all my shortcomings. I thank God that he has given me such a man as Rock. He is a man who loves his family more than his work and loves God more than his family. He is my better half, my completion, my Rock.
Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Happy belated birthday, Rock!! And I would concur that he is a very modest, humble man.
And anybody who likes the Apple Dumpling Gang is good people in my book! We'll be campy right along with you! Love, y'all.
Happy Birtday to Rock...I love you guys! --Sunny
Can we get a pic of the bible cover? Or should I wait 'til Sunday to covet?
What a great post and what a sweet birthday. Give that man a hug from us! And what a blessing you both are to each other! Isn't God just great? He lined you two up so long ago, and look how well its working out! ;-)
God is good. I must say, as a mother-in-law, I agree whole heartedly with my daughter. We love you Pete!
