our little man has made you a better man. he has made you stronger, bolder, braver. he has made you more willing to seek the good in the world and more fiercely protective against the bad. he has made you more quick to laugh, to love, to learn, to live each day to its fullest.

i never thought my heart could feel so full, my soul so at peace and my mind so turned to mush by your crazy, kid-focused ways. i adore you. grayson idolizes you. and we are both so in love with you that it makes even sitting through The Family Guy (episode after episode after episode) not only tolerable, but a joy … simply because we are with you.

thank you for being the kind of husband every woman wants and the kind of daddy every child deserves.

happy, happy daddy’s day.

I think our sarcastic, lighthearted look at life, and at each other, is what keeps our marriage clicking. Sure we love each other and are in love with each other in that ooey gooey way that makes you want to gag, but we usually keep that sap to ourselves.
Instead, (as anyone who has spent more than 2 seconds with us can attest), we call each other pet names like sh!@% head and swap endearing phrases like, “shut your face.”

We make fun of and pick on each other all the time, which often harkens back to the days on the schoolyard when the boy would yank on the ponytail of the girl he had a crush on. Maybe that’s where we get our spark.
After all, we did start dating right after high school and were actually married 6 years later (which, aack!, means we’ve been a part, in one way or another, of each other’s lives for 9 years!).

I know it’s so cliché and I’ve already said it in this post, but I did marry my best friend – the one I give wet willies to, the one I bring dirty diapers to and say, “here, sniff this,” the one I absolutely, without a doubt, know is the other half of my (twisted) soul.

He keeps me breathing.

And our journey as parents has only made our crazy connection even more defined, more perfect.
Maybe even more mushy. In fact, the hubby must be runneth over with emotions, because he just asked me out to lunch....on a weekday.


Awww. Nope. He just wanted me to bring him his phone......to Lewisville.....which is a million miles away.

Oh well.
Happy 30th birthday, sh!@% head, I will always love you....old man....with the grey hair! Tee hee hee! Now shut your face and get back to work.
