What an awesome list! I love how each one has a picture to go with it. You guys are very lucky to have each other. :)
Happy birthday to your hubby!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this post so much. What a wonderful person you are to take the time to find the pictures, add them to your blog, and write such amazing words. A true testament to how much Doug means to you.
I hope you have a great day celebrating Doug and the wonderful husband and father he is.
wow... too many pictures of my ugly mug... but I still love you.
How sweet! I just came across your blog today. Another one of my blogger friends is a pastor's wife too. (http://dreawd.blogspot.com/)
THAT is the loveliest birthday tribute I have read. ever. And how clever are you the way you matched photos up-- that must've taken forever-- even with the most awesome-est Mac.
Happy birthday, Hubby of my creative Canadian friend :-)
What a sweet post!

You really summed up Doug in many wonderful words. He truly is an awesome guy and I'm so thankful that you broke up with Dean and started dating Doug...hehehe. And I just LOVE the pic of him in the hard rock cafe shirt...raar what a hottie? lol I'm sure I could dig up a similar one of Colin. Ah the 80's/early 90's.
Love you guys! And happy b-day Doug!
HA! First, the mullet pic. Doug, mullets NEVER look good on ANYONE! Especially tall, gangly, pin thin kids! :D
Tara, you're so sappy, you are oozing! That is such a sweet idea & you are so very lucky!!!
ahhh that is so sweet. And great pictures to go with it.
I clicked over from "I Should Be Folding Laundry."
My husband's birthday is tomorrow. I don't think I have 54 photos of him (we've been together less than three years), but I may do this (or something similar) for his birthday, too.
Hmmm...
What a great idea!! Very sweet tribute to your hubby - I enjoyed it!
What a wonderful post! Awesome photos to go along with! Happy Birthday to your special hubby~

I was going to comment that I hope you shared this with him, but then I saw his comment. Happy birthday Doug!
Came over because Beth said we had to see your awesome birthday post and she was right! This is wonderful. Happy (late) Birthday to your man! : )
I found my way over to your blog via Beth at 'I Should Be Folding Laundry'. What a lovely birthday tribute to your husband. I did something similar for our 15th anniversary - I made a mini scrapbook for my husband listing reasons I loved him. Your blog design is beautiful; I look forward to reading more.
What a great tribute...very sweet!
Wonderful honouring of a very fine man.
Shine on, all of you.
G. on the coast

well anyway, happy birthday to your seemingly perfect hubby. :-)
hope it was wonderful!
Tara, that is so so sweet! Happy Birthday to your honey! This post makes me want to hug my husband because reading this I realize that he is so many of those things as well.
What an adorable post and fabulous tribute at the same time. I love it!!
