Happy Birthday Lonnie!

Well, it's official. Lonnie is no longer in his twenties! Yes, that's right the dreaded thirties is upon him! I can't believe it. He was so young when we met. As I've told him several times throughout the years...it's time to move on! J/K I absolutely love this man. I am so grateful for him and for all that he does and sacrifices for our family. Here are some things that I love about the LONNIE DURHAM!

I love...
...the fact that Lonnie holds and honors the Priesthood and is always so willing to bless the lives of others with such a powerful gift!
...that Lonnie just had to wait until I was "legal" (18) before he would date me!
...that Lonnie was able to attend my High School Graduation. (Honestly, how many of you can say that about your spouse?)
