I'll never forget the first time I met Reggie. He was sitting in the kitchen of his King Henry apartment, studying kanji cards. Bachelorhood muck surrounded him on every side (bowls of half-eaten ramen and dirty mismatched dishware awaiting its turn to be washed in the bathtub--but that's another story). I remember thinking that he was the cutest boy that I had ever seen even despite the tufts of hair peeking over his rugby shirt collar. I immediately assumed the worst, that he was too cute to be a nice boy. But, was I wrong.Reggie is one of the nicest boys I know. He not only works harder than any one I know Monday through Friday, but he also spends week nights and weekends faithfully fulfilling his church calling as Young Men's Pres. (even maintaining control after one of his young men threw up in his truck at scout camp this weekend). His children adore him. (I loved that he pulled 7 year old Rylee up on his lap during sacrament meeting today.) And, did I mention that he is hilariously funny (not quite as funny as me, because I'm pretty darn funny). But anyway, Reggie is still the cutest boy that I have ever seen.
Happy Birthday Reggie, I love you!!!!

Hey Wendy I found your blog through Bethany's. I couldn't remember the address when you gave it to me at your house this summer. Sounds like you guys are doing well! Happy birthday to Reggie!
Happy birthday old timer...
Happy birthday Reggie! Wendy really was smitten by your good looks and sense of humor because she loved you in the beginning even though you ate meat and probably didn't brush you teeth with hot water to kill the germs!
