If you're looking for some sappy post about how wonderful, amazing and perfect the love of my life is, look elsewhere.
He is, after all, the man who ditched me post-childbirth because he was sicker than a dog.
OK, so maybe I might have said, "You're useless to me. Go home and get better."
His work, after all, was done after the "difficult" task of conception.
Almost seven years into our marriage, I am continually amazed and humbled to be married to such a great guy. In this tough economy, he launched his own web development company and works his butt off to make it profitable. He is the king of the one-liners and makes me laugh every day. He's had more medical issues than Job and often lives in chronic pain but rarely complains. He is always loving and supportive of my dreams. He likes The Children when I do not. And most importantly, he makes the world a lot brighter just by living in it.
Even if it is a blinding shade of orange.
His college buddy Todd recently told me that Jamie has a heart of gold and that I am married to one of his favorite people in the world.
I couldn't agree with him more.
Happy birthday to my very own Lord of the Gourds!

'Lord of the Gourds' - I love it! What a nice post for him on his birthday!
Aaaww LOL!! Great post. Happy birthday to your husband!!
Didn't come up to the Lord of the Gourds. There was actually a PBS special about these crazy giant pumpkin growers. I thought it was a good fit. :)
He sounds very cool and anyone with that much patience for pumpkins has to be a saint. Happy Birthday Gourdman!
Happy birthday, GourdGuy!
"He likes The Children when I do not." Truly the mark of a good Husband.
GourdGuy/GourdMan = brilliant. Possible new nicknames? :-)
Happ b-day to the Gourdinator! And many thanks for the hours of entertainment he's provided us, through you, throughout the years!
I love the picture of you both at the end.
This was such a lovely tribute post. You say things so perfectly.
Very funny, and touching-
Our hubbies would get along very well- other than the pumpkin fetish- which mine would not share, but would be supportive of :)
Hope he has a great day!
I hope you both have fun celebrating his birthday!
Happy Birthday Jamie!
Sweet post. He sounds like a great man.
I hope he had a wonderful birthday. BTW, was the ice cream you mentioned he wanted for his birthday Pumpkin flavored???
Happy Birthday! Enjoy your hubby, he looks like a keeper. :)
You guys are such a good looking couple!
Heart of gold ..hummm?
Current price of gold $1124.00/oz.
Average weight of heart is 7 pounds, yielding approximate net worth of $126,000.00.
Now, that's one valuable Pumpkin Head!
THAT is very sweet! You guys are just so cute. Happy Birthday to the Lord. And to the Lady, congratulations on marrying one of the Good Guys!
Happy Birthday pumpkin man!
P.S. I think he did pretty well himself ;o)
What a sweet tribute ... and now I'm following you on Twitter. :)
Happy bday to Jamie!!!
I love that you said he likes the Children even when you do not-because I thought for awhile there that I was the only mother who occasionally didn't like her own offspring.
I don't feel so alone in the world anymore.
And yes, my husband also likes The Children when I do not. (and his birthday is also in December....not that I know what that has to do with anything.)
