I wanted to do a 44 things I love about Zack in honor of his birthday, but I am so bad at those things. I have tried and tried, but just can't finish them. Oh, what the heck....I will try

44. He likes to hold my hand. Last time we were in church in Winnfield with my mom we held hands during sacrament meeting and the s were sitting with my mom on the stand so we talked and laughed a little during the meeting. Vicki, a lady I have know there my whole life, came over after the meeting and asked how long we had been married and said we were "gagging" her with our sweetness. Last Sunday when I was there she asked me where he was and said she missed us being "all over each other". We weren't all over each other, but.....he does like to hold my hand, and I like him to hold it.

Happy 44th Zack--------I love you!!!
