Happy Birthday, Chad!

He has the greatest smile!
A college football star


He loves to fish, even as a kid.
That's him on the left in his cowboy boots.
His mom in the middle and brothers and sister on the right.



Look how handsome at 8 years old


I love the hair!
I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man! He has an amazing personality and is the center of attention wherever he goes. There is not a place in North America that we have ever been that he has not known someone there. He loves football (and all sports really), fishing, anything outdoors, and adores his family. He is one of the hardest working people I have ever known and will do whatever it takes to provide a great life for us.
He was a college football star and got drafted to play in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers when he was in college. Although an injury prevented him from playing very long, he has a great love for the game. He currently officiates football for AFL2 (minor league football for those who aren't familiar) and college football. He currently works for L'Oreal and makes makeup. It takes it real man to go from football star to making eye shadow!
He has 4 brothers and 3 sisters and some of the most outrageous childhood stories you have ever heard. He and his brother, Hugh, could talk for days on end on the phone about the good old days and laugh for hours.
His favorite color is orange.
We have been married 10 wonderful years (maybe only 9 1/2 of those were wonderful, though, just kidding:)) and he has grown into such a strong, responsible Christian man. I am so proud to be his wife.
Happy Birthday, Honey! I love you so much!
