A Birthday Message

Happy, happy birthday to my amazing guy (yesterday)!

Thank you for inspiring me to be kinder and to have more faith in life.

Thank you for helping my dreams come true and helping us find new ones.

In honor of your 27th birthday, here are 27 things I love about you, us, and our life.

I love…

that we are moving overseas together and fulfilling a lifelong dream..!!!!! (in just a few weeks…oh boy).

our melded sense of style.

that you hate saying goodbye to things as much as I do.

your constant support for me and all of my plans and ideas, from starting a graduate program that would take me across the world to moving with me to Prague.

your nose.

your face, in general.

that you always do the dishes (and I always do the laundry).

your big dreams.

your passion for your job(s).

your innate kindness.

your generosity.

our talks of the future.

our talks of the past.

our talks of the present.

our talks, obviously.

your immediate love and attachment to my dogs.

your enthusiasm for things I forget to be enthusiastic about, like plane rides.

that you are always proud of me, even for things like figuring out the vacuum.

that you always, always read my blog and think every post is fantastic.

your calm ability to deal with stress.

your ability to calm me down with one look.

that weird (adorable) cowlick in your hair.

your huge smile.

that small pointy tooth of yours.

your organized, practical soul…that (almost) always indulges my impractical whims.

your goofy, made-up languages.

your constant faith in life, love, and us.

I love you, E! You make me feel lucky every day. I hope you have a happy, wonderful, exciting, adventurous 27th year…you deserve it the most.

XOXO.

Normal, less mushy posting will continue tomorrow.
