You are my best friend. And you make for a fantastic husband.
A couple of months before our wedding, I woke up in the middle of the night and knew exactly what I wanted to write for my vows. I grabbed the closest piece of paper (an envelope) and scribbled on it in dim light. After all of our moves, I was so upset when I couldn’t find the original envelope. Yesterday, I found it! It seems appropriate to quote part of them for your birthday
.
Because you are kind to strangers.
Because you are both shy and gregarious,
predictable with surprise in the corners of your eyes.
Because you are imperfect and full of stories
and you dream in words.
Because you smile after a good poem like you’ve just eaten a home-cooked meal.
Because I once caught you listening to classical music while watching pro-wrestling with the sound off.
Because you understand whimsy.
Because you thwarted my plans for single-hood and led me to discover that life with a best friend and partner is better than one without.

I love you, Mike. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

JessieDecker - I LOVE this!
Leah - This is wonderful!
Mary - Uh. Awesome. Especially the pro-wrestling classical music. Sometimes, Joel and I watch soap operas with the sound off and do the voices/make-up stories as it goes along. This post made me think of that and smile.
Thanks.
