My Best Friend {#TuesdayTen Linkup}

For this week's Tuesday Ten, we are honoring our best friends because August 3rd was National Friendship Day.  Friendship Day was created by Hallmark way back in 1919 as a way to encourage people to - you guessed it! - send cards to their friends.  However, by the 40's, the holiday had faded.  Then, in 1998, Winnie the Pooh was named the world's Ambassador of Friendship by the United Nations!  In 2011, the UN officially deemed July 30 as National Friendship Day, although most countries celebrate on the first Sunday of August.

I am, by nature, an introvert and have never been a person who has tons of friends.  Most of the time, I'm just fine with that.  Now, I can honestly say that some of my best friends are other bloggers.  Many I have met in person once thanks to BlogU, but there are still some that I have never met face to face and some who live in other parts of the world entirely.

I know this might sound very cliche, but my hubby is truly my very best friend in the world.  He knows everything about me and we have been through thick and thin together.  There is nobody with whom I have shared more laughter, tears, or joy.  With three daughters to raise and a household to maintain, I am certainly very dependent on him functionally.  However, I also depend on him emotionally.  His is my sounding board, my comfort, and my companion.  I would be so lost without him. 

Since today's theme is "Ten Things I Love About My Best Friend" and since tomorrow is actually David's birthday, I am honoring both by sharing with you . . . . . . . . 

1. He is very supportive.
2. He makes me smile and laugh.
3. He calms me down when I overreact or stress out.
4. He is smart and teaches me new things all the time.
5. He has strengths in areas where I have weakness (and vice versa) which means we offset each other very well.
6. He thinks I'm beautiful even when I don't.
7. He eats anything I cook without (much) complaining.
8. He appreciates all I do and tells me often.
9. He is a great to snuggle with.
10. He is a great dad!

Happy Birthday, my love!!  Thanks for being such a great husband and dad.  You are truly my best friend and I hope to spend many more birthdays with you!!!
