Happy Birthday Jason!

A few weeks ago Jason and I, along with some friends, watched Courageous.  It was a fantastic movie and I recommend it to anyone, married or not.  The movie was about a group of men who decide (after a tragic accident) to stand up and start leading their families in the way the Bible calls a man to lead.  Without spoiling the movie I will say it included men in all different areas of life who were dealing with vastly different situations.  Here is just a taste of what the men resolve to do:

"I do solemnly resolve before God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children. I WILL love them, protect them, serve them, and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home. I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me. I WILL bless my children and teach them to love God with all of their hearts, all of their minds, and all of their strength.

As we were driving home that night I was thinking about my husband.  I feel like so many women probably walked away from watching this movie and thought something along the lines of "I wish my husband would be more like those guys.", but I don't have the chance to say that. 

Jason is a man of honor in all circumstances.  He is honest, compassionate, hard working, and loyal.  All of that would be enough, but he is also hilarious, a wonderful story teller, and quite the looker.  I can honestly say it is only by the grace of God that I can be Mrs. Faircloth.  I do not deserve this husband.

Since we will be in the mountains on Jason's birthday to see my sisters and brother I threw a birthday party for Jason last weekend.  We gathered at a friends house and roasted marshmallows for smores.  I don't have pictures of the people who were there but this is how we set it up:
