Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Happy Birthday Bubba! You are the best! I hope you had a wonderful day!

Bubba was born May 26, 1958 making him the 2nd child in a family that soon grew to 8. He was a teaser and protective of his sisters. And a fighter too.

When he was little he had woke up and went to watch cartoons with his pet cat. He just held that cat on his lap and petted him while he watched. Later he told his Mom something was wrong with the cat. It turned out the cat had died sometime in the night.

Once a sister had a boy come over to pick her up on a date and he had told him, "I don't think so." The guy had to leave and call from a phone down the street.

He joined the army when he was 17 and married 13 days before his 18th birthday on Friday the 13th. He had two wonderful children, Termite and Sissy. Later he was divorced so he could get ready to marry the best wife ever!

In February of 2008 he was in a hotel explosion up in West Yellowstone, MT. A propane tank in the room below had exploded sending him out of his bed onto the floor. He got up and quickly evacuated the hotel of his customers and other patrons. He even went into a burning room 3 times to see if anyone was in there. He had to yell at some people to get out of their rooms right before the room exploded. It was a terrible time for me as I had heard about the explosion but he was not able to call me personally because he had left all his stuff in the room, including his cell phone and he couldn't remember my number. I threatened later to have it tatooed on him. In the summer of 2008 he had to have surgery from the injuries. He is still in a ton of pain every day and will probably never get better which is very hard for us all. Because of his, what he calls stupidity, he was awarded two medals. One is the Civilian Achievement and the other is the Medal of Valor which is the highest award a civilian can receive. I am proud of him for his "stupidity" and am glad that he is still with us today to drive us all nuts. I love you a ton hon!

Bubba when he was little and had played in his poop. Gross! Glad he outgrew that. Military photo. What a stud!

His awards!
