I honestly wasn’t planning on writing a post for the ol’ boy. But after he excitedly ran up to me yesterday morning asking if I wanted to take a picture of him diving off a cliff … and after I looked at this photo with admiration … I decided I’d like to honor him on his special day {and our anniversary}.
Look at this guy. He’s diving. From a cliff. Into a pile of rocks. That’s my boy. Plain and simple.
I love him for it and he drives me crazy for it.
He is an adventure freak and doesn’t seem to think much about the consequences. I’ve pretty much given up on trying to tell him otherwise. And I’m convinced this man has 9 {or more!} lives!
Let’s see … I’ll give you the short list on some of the lives he’s already used:
- He’s shot himself. In the woods. In the dark. Early in the morning.
- He’s crashed an ultralight {plane} in the freezing cold waters of Lake Superior.
- He’s free-fallen in a {pressurized} helium balloon, attempting to make the world record to be the first to circle the globe in a balloon. Finally stopped at 800 some feet before hitting the ground.
And how about a few things in our girls lives:
- Let them sit on the edge of a boat {that they shouldn’t of} and they fell into freezing water … before Wynter knew how to swim. Piper surfaced, treading water, holding Wynter in one hand and her shoe in the other.
- He ties a sled to the back of a Suburban and takes them sledding through the northwoods.
- He has them hang on top of the Suburban and takes them through those same northwoods while holding on for dear life.
- He free-wheels over a golf course, in a golf cart … lost Wynter out of the cart and almost ran her over.
Okay … that’s enough … I’m starting to sweat a little. ;)
But you know what? My kids love adventure. They love finding creepy-crawlies … they hold creep-crawlies. They know whether animals are nocturnal or not. They know how to swim {yeah, after that spill with Wynter, we put them on the fast track!}. They love big waves. They know space and stars. They’re honestly up for anything.
And it’s not because of me, that’s for sure. I play it safe. Pretty much all.of.the.time!
It’s because of this adventure-thrill-seeker man I married.
And that’s okay. We give each other balance. We’re yin and yang. Black and white which equate the perfect shade of gray.
Happy Birthday & Happy Anniversary … you truly are my better half.
