My sweet husband joins me at 40 today. (Uncle Jeff does too…obviously. Happy Birthday Jeff!)<\/p>\n

I can often be heard saying that I have not two, but THREE children. But it is his complete joy at the smallest of pleasures and when J acts like “one of the kids” that makes me love him so.<\/p>\n

I love that he is the one I can’t wait to wake up to in the morning and the last one I see when I close my eyes to sleep.<\/p>\n

He is always there to share in the big news, the little stuff, and even my Lucy & Ethel schemes.<\/p>\n

He’s my shoulder to lean on or my comic relief when I need that instead.<\/p>\n

I love that he knows when to reach over to take my hand during the sad parts of Downton Abbey, or shoots me a look that doesn’t even need words, yet we understand each other perfectly.<\/p>\n

He’s my forever date, my Valentine, the love-of-my-life and I’m so happy he is mine.<\/p>\n

(And just a little bit happy that he is now 40, too. Come on in, babe, the water is fine.)<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday, J.
\nLove you with all my heart.<\/p>\n
