Happy Birthday to my oh-so-fantastic father in law! Steve is a big old 51! He is a hard core Republican, jokester, Businessman, Golfer, possessive over his leather chair, Father, Brother, Husband, he gets hit on by old women...the list goes on!
Last night we went to dinner for his birthday & next week we will have a family party at a pottery studio when Court & Josh are here! I just wanted to post a quick little post. Steve is hilarious! From the first time I met him he had me laughing. He often refers to himself as Stan, Pakistan-y, the King...I also am his favorite person to tease, EVER. He loves to get pictures of me and mess them up so I look like my face is 40 in long, he loves to mock me & harass me whenever possible! He always wants to play a joke or find a way to trick someone, he is such a boy at heart- always doing outdoors things & staying active. Nothing is ever boring when you are with Steve! He always has the best stories & knows how to connect with almost anyone!
On a more serious note, he is a great example to me. He is faithful, loyal, and honest. He is a great worker & that is something that I was raised to value, so I appreciate that about him. He loves his wife so much & is such a proud father. He support Chris & I in anyway he can- whether it be to offer to help us move something or an invite to their house for dinner. He is extremely respectful to women. He is so generous with his time & his means, he truly is the definition of a good guy. I appreciate him so much & how he has helped me transition into a new family. I love laughing with him (even if its at myself!) and I am TRULY LUCKY to have him as my father in law. Thanks for all you do & for being so great Steve!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA SPIKER!
