Ben’s 37th Birthday

What can I say that would hold up to the man Ben is? Honestly there are no words but I’m going to try. Ben is the kind of guy who will give up everything to make me happy. He is a hard worker, extraordinarily smart and can figure anything out. He’s my go-to when I have a question about anything. The one who provides the entertainment. He always makes me laugh. Tells the best dad jokes or jokes in general. He’s adventurous and keeps me on my toes. He’s the first one I want to see when I wake up and the last one before I sleep. Happiest of birthdays my love!

This was probably one of my most anxiety driven things Ben has ever done. As his Father’s Day and Birthday gift he wanted to experience Sky Diving for the first time. Let’s just say, he’s the way cooler parent here. However being safe on the ground was my kind of was to celebrate him turning 37. Enjoy this glimpse into the experience
