7 years since that first blind date in April.

1 large scallop – your first birthday appetizer

5 different residences we’ve had throughout the entire time we’ve had between us. 

2 very strong martinis.

5 years of marriage – and you’re still my best friend, biggest cheerleading, and sworn Uno enemy!

2 beautiful children.

3 flights we’ve taken together.

1 very long road trip to and from FL for our delayed honeymoon.

4 years spent teaching – a career I may not have found if not for you.

1 step at a time – the way I plan to live each day of the rest of my life with you.

31 – The number of reasons I have to celebrate and thank God for bringing us together…until next year…and the next year…

I’m so thankful to share this journey through life with the most amazing man I know.  I love you more each day!  Happy Birthday, Babe!
