Happy Anniversary, Great Husband!

July 30th, 2008

Dear Great Husband,

It has been the most wonderful EIGHT years in my life.  We have had a few rough spots, but I think that makes all of the good so much sweeter!  We have grown together and separately.  We are raising some of the best kids in America - thanks to you for not allowing me to make mommy’s boys of them.  We have bought a great home and have done so much to improve it - and have so much more to plan to make it even better.  We are on a great adventure together!  I am really looking forward to all of the years that we still have.   Thank you for loving me and being such a hard worker and dedicated husband and father…..

 And now to the mushy, sappy stuff because that is me :-)

The greatest gifts are those that cost us least:
Price varies inversely with true worth.
Life itself’s a free gift of the earth
Born of ecstatic joy in plant and beast.
What more exquisite present than a bower
Of wild roses in adolescent bloom?
Yet all that vivid color and perfume
Exist to serve the interests of the flower.
Love is such a gift. One trusts its treasure,
Free as the strange bright outbursts of a bird,
Equally uncanny and absurd,
Comes not from sweat or sacrifice, but pleasure.
I’m grateful for the gift you bought. But do
Remember that the greatest gift is you.

by Nicholas Gordon

Life with you has been like a ride on a roller coaster with all of the thrills and fun.  I do not want life to be like a merry-go-round with you…… just to round and round and round.

 Thank you, great husband, friend and lover for always being there for me and loving me just the way I am and sometimes in spite of just the way I am!  I am living over the Rainbow, my fairytale come true because of you!
