Happy Birthday!!

Today my husband turns 31.  For some reason 31 feels and sounds older than 30 sounded.  Maybe it's a trend...but it feels like we're going to blink and we'll be 40.  But then I remind myself.  When we're 40 we'll have an almost high schooler, a middle schooler and an almost 10 year old.  So maybe it's a ways off!

Jer, I hope today proves to be happy.  That though our life feels very full, stressed and hectic right now, that you can spend some time today thankful for the blessings we have...there are so many!!  My biggest blessing is you.  My husband.  Who works tirelessly to accomplish our goals.  Who meticulously has spent hours already in our boys bedroom wanting everything to be just right.  Who crawls into bed at 1am, to get back up at 6am and head back into an office you got off from at 11 the night before...and rarely complains...except to mention that you might want to take a beach vacation somewhere instead of go back to the office.  And that same afternoon you return home to have dance parties in the living room with our kids who could not wait to see you.  Our boys adore you babe.  I hope you see how much!!  And do too! I could not have picked a better man to take care of me or to build a family with.  So thank you.  And I love you.  Today I want to celebrate you...and all the wonderful things you are to me and our kids!!!

Happy birthday babe!!  Love you always.
