Happy, happy, happy birthday! BIRTHDAY!!

The title is actually a song my brother Adam wrote for our sister Nancy. It's a great birthday song, especially my part of it...lol Today is Ashley's birthday. I'm so bad at doing "special" things for her special day. I ruin surprises, I leave messes for her to clean (ie dishes in the sink, poopy diapers, etc), my plans just never seem to work out the way I would like (you should hear how I ruined the marriage proposal). I made her breakfast in bed, hence the mess. I know she thinks her birthday won't be much fun, I'll do my best to make it better.

Ash I want you to know how glad I am that I suckered you into marrying me. Early in our relationship I heard older couples say that they love their "sweety" more now than they did when they were first married. I didn't think that was even possible but I now understand what they are talking about. You complete me...lol. I have realized in the recent past that you give me such strength. Strength to be a better man, a better father, a better husband. I look forward to our future together. You are a special woman. When I say, "special" I mean talented, beautiful, caring, determined, nurturing, funny, athletic [enter any other great characteristics here].

You hold my heart and that is probably the best gift I could give you, not to say that it will be the only gift hehehe. I love you and would do anything for you. Happy Birthday!
