1) Cody LOVES the Lord. Not like the way everyone in west Texas says they do. He genuinely Sits and meditates on the glorious gift that Jesus gave us and speaks it to anyone and everyone so passionately with tears in his eyes. You can't listen to a sermons by him without feeling moved.
2) he LOVES his girls.. Myself and Evynn. He makes that very known. I know he loves me without a doubt. But every night when we lay Evynn down to sleep he repeats "I love that sweet girl so much".
3) he serves his heart out. Whether it's helping me hang banners for a party I'm planning, changing evynns diaper at 3 am, or talking to the poor for hours in the beating sun, he's there and serving his heart out.
4) He loves and hates politics. He'll talk your ear off about it but gets so angry at the same time.
5) he can quote anything. Remember the Titans? Done. Or any of the hundred episodes of the office, he can quote a whole episode.
6) he's athletic. Unlike his wife ;) he played all sports back in the day and now enjoys some pick up basketball or working out. I hope our (boys, someday?) get this trait.
7) he loves technology. While we don't own all gizmos and gadgets, he loves researching Apple watches and new fancy cameras and what not.
8) wants everything organic. Once while I was at work he traded out EVERYTHING and bought organic, mayonnaise, shampoo.. Everything! It's impossible to find junk food at our house!

9) he reads so much. Which goes hand and hand with his mass amount of knowledge in theology. Seminary is partly to help this but he reads several books a week
10) he won't admit it, but he's kind of a picky eater ;) he has mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. I will give him credit for growing to like mayonnaise, oatmeal, and a few other things in our marriage.
11) he's an expert cleaner. He definitely is the tidier one between the two of us. Perfectly organized closet, spotless counter tops, folded and hung laundry.. All him.
12) he loves to travel. Like I've said before, we discussed our desires to travel before we got married. Of course we aren't able to constantly travel but we so treasure the few trip a year we take. I'm so fortunate for a husband who always to see new places (or return to old places. Jamaica and Chicago both have our hearts!!).
13) he is a documentary lover. He is always in the middle of a netflix documentary about anything and everything-food, politics, architecture, sports, etc.
14) He is silly! if you know him personally you know this to be true. The guy has jokes but isn't afraid to be truly silly.
15) he is a perfectionist. while I am a "do-er" and want to get this done and of my list, whether perfect or not, Cody would rather spend time planning, drawing/taping it out, and making sure it is spotless even if it takes a long time to do the task
16) He is smart! Especially when it comes to theology. Talking to him about the Lord, theology, the bible, etc. you can see his knowledge and definitely his passion.
17) He does not love his phone... if you know him, you know this to be true ;) You can find his phone across the house and full of messages that are unread... for days. Don't be offended if he doesn't reply ;)
18) He's creative in the kitchen! Luckily with me working 12 hour shifts, he's always been willing to cook dinner. If i don't give him specific directions, he just wings it and comes up with creative concoctions but i've never been disappointed!
19) he is fearless. I admire this about him, considering I am very fearful and anxious. Yes, Cody doesn't love the idea of "bad" things, but he has no concern for tomorrow and trusts God's every step
20) He is such an involved dad! He loves getting down on the floor and playing with Evynn, chasing her, and staying in tune with her needs :)
21) He can get in character, so well! Any story he tells, he automatically changes his voice.. it.is.hilarious!
22) he is a leader; which is obvious being a youth pastor but he makes sure to lead students in all aspects (relationships, purity, financial, loving your family, etc.) when talking to our students
23) he's a family man, did I mention that?! He's so involved in not only is but loves his parents and sisters. His phone call history might not show that ;) but he loves staying in tune with close family
24) he hates shopping for himself. Maybe that's a normal guy thing but I think the only clothes he owns have been gifts for him. He's always very appreciative but wouldn't ever go get them for himself.
25) he brings everything back to the gospel. Again, i admire this about him. Any situation we're in or even the smallest of circumstances he can meditate on and have a good lesson to tell me on how the gospel is in clear sight
26) he's particular about his hair ;) that might be enough said but he wants his hair in pristine condition
27) he's selfless. Hence why he let me go out of town for the first time instead of letting him retreat for his birthday. He deserves the best!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!!! I LOVE YOU!
