If you're worrying that I'm going to write something really cheesy, don't - I'm going to keep that mushy stuff to myself (and Mr X).
I'm also not going to bother writing about how Mr X still looks like a spring chicken no matter what his age is. Nor am I going to marvel about how he's still as nimble as a cat (except on a trampoline - but I suppose cat's don't much care for trampolines either). Mr X never really seems to believe these things when I say them anyway so I imagine that seeing them in writing won't work either. He's just way too hard on himself, I think.
What I AM going to write is a short blip about Mr X's life up to now:
Mr X has lived in 5 states.
He has lived in 3 countries.
He has visited 15 countries (this doesn't include layovers in airports.)
He is an excellent snowboarder and surfer - two of his passions - and continues to do them both.
He is a HOMEOWNER - even if it doesn't agree with him.
He has a job that he loves (and that's a rare/precious thing to have.)
He is fluent in 2 languages and he can 'get by' in about 3 more.
He married some crazy lady that is still completely smitten with him.
He is the proud owner of a Subaru (one of his more impressive accomplishments, I think.)
Now if that's not the summation of living life to it's fullest, I don't know what is.

Happy Birthday to Mr. X -- may his hair never stop being so think and full and making Gilbert jealous. Cheers to him and his hirsute longevity!
think = thick
i was hoping for some more sentimental reasons why you love him. i think he would enjoy that too.
