Happy Birthday to my very favorite person. I love this man so much. This year, perhaps more than others, I have recognized how incredibly blessed I am to have him. He is the best of men. He strives to be his best. He supports me in everything. He is honest and a man of integrity. He works hard and always does his best job. He loves our children so much. He sacrifices for them in so many ways but I am sure he would never think of it that way – but I see it. He is competitive and we have played dozens of games of Wingspan the last year. He is thoughtful. He is a lifelong learner. He is the man of my dreams. I am forever grateful that fourteen year ago our paths crossed in a campground in a small town and our story began.
Mark, thank you for choosing me to spend forever with. We have a beautiful life and I love that I get to share it with you.
Mark’s birthday got to be a week long celebration. His birthday was right in the middle of a work week for him and so he spent most of his actual birthday sleeping (night shifts are brutal). We got some take out for dinner and had cake and cards/presents. Then a couple days later, we were able to celebrate some more by playing mini golf! It was a first for the kids and it was definitely not traditional – NEON EVERYTHING – but we had so much fun.
Happy Birthday, hun!






A beautiful tribute to Mark.
He is the best š„°
