This cutie right here was born 34 years ago. And I'm so glad he was.
You can't help but like Eli; he really is SUCH a great guy. He is such a servant leader, he loves people well, he's seriously one of the most dependable people ever- oh, and he's WAY sweeter than me. I love that about him.
Another favorite thing about Eli is that he loves the lake as much as I do. My family grew up on the lake and I really don't ever get tired of it ... And Eli is the same way! This year we bought a lake house ... Errr ... A trailer house. The lake we go to doesn't let you have homes on the lake because its core-owned and so you can only lease the land and put trailers on it. I can't even tell you how excited I am to have a spot to go every weekend and keep everything there and just make lots of memories with my fam. We are giddy over it and counting down to summer!
ANOTHER fun fact about Eli (I know, I know- I keep going and going- (#newlywedproblems) is that he's super handy. The man can fix ANYTHING.
He is single handedly gutting the trailer and putting it all back together ... Call me crazy, but that's super hot! 😍😍
This morning I let the kids go to school a little late so we could wake up and do presents and pancakes with him.
Gym clothes for all the basketball he plays with the boys, a holster he had been eyeing for his gun and a cooler for the lake were all on the list. He loved it all!
Eli loves pancakes so that was definitely the menu for breakfast. The kids were super excited to get to go to school a little late.
That night we had my fam over for dinner ... Eli loves mexican so that's what I served up with a special request for Mimi's cheese dip.
I picked up a couple cream pies since baking was NOT happening with my thumb as it was. My sweet daddy loves to make anything a ceremony so he read the sweetest letter to Eli I've ever heard. Dad LOVES Eli and is constantly coming up to me to make sure I know that. "Rebekah, that Eli. He is just a GREAT guy ... I just like him SO much!"
I just love him.

The kids were excited to get to give him their gifts and so was I!

Then they got to go a little bit later than we had even planned when I managed to slam my thumb in my SUV door while trying to hunt down a backpack. Jury is still out if it's broken, but it let me camp out on the couch for a good bit of the morning watching Fixer Upper.

Repeat.

But I agree so I don't get tired of hearing it. :)
I think he felt loved and celebrated today. Which he is every day- but especially today!
Muah!! Love you!!
