But, we don't really have the money for me to spend on several gifts or throw a big party for him. I did splurge and use the credit card to buy him Vikings vs. Bears tickets...and he knows that probably won't happen again for awhile. So, it seems that everything that I know of making a birthday special costs money which makes me feel like it's not enough. I am not very crafty creative....but I can write. And I also like talking about how great my husband is. I decided to put the two together.
So....Clinton Charles Holmgren here are 27 things that I find so ridiculously wonderful about you, published for everyone to read.
Happy Birthday!
