there is no one else for me…happy birthday honey bunches of oats.

I’m not going to get mushy. I’m not going to get mushy. I’m not going to get mushy.

Last year was hard on us. We had so many things that we had to learn about each other. We are still learning how to deal with each other. It’s not perfect. I hope it never is. I love fighting with you. You frustrate the shit out me. You piss me off. You make me want to throw things at your head.

I’m glad though, because if I didn’t care enough to learn how to get through things, I would have kicked your ass to the curb a long time ago.

Baby steps, Dr. Marvin.

I will not get mushy.

Today is your birthday. I got you the clip art program you wanted so you could make more t-shirts. I love that about you. You want stuff like this because you want to be able to make things for my friends. You always think of everyone else first.
“Kristine, do you think Kelly will like this?” and you show me something neat you’ve made for a blogger friend of mine. You have the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known.

You’re now 36, but even more handsome than those cool shots of you in the 80’s (holding back laughter) You’re the most handsomest man. You’re blushing right now huh? I’ll shut up.

Thank you for sharing your life with me and the girls. Thank you for loving me for all that I am. For loving me through the crazy. You didn’t sign on for the bad back and crazy, anxiety ridden freak you end up with half the time. You didn’t sign on to have love notes, birthday cards and shopping lists posted on the internet for hundreds of people to read.
You’re a private person, yet understand that I am an open book and I share just about everything without a second thought.

For all the Random and Odd readers out there. THANK YOU. Thank you for not only coming here everyday to read what drivel I have thrown up here, sending vibes and prayers, for laughing and crying with me, for caring enough to call or email and send me cookies….but for what you have brought to my relationship with Shaun. You know it wasn’t always easy and we almost didn’t make it through the first year. You’ve read and stood by me…us. You have shown us that we like what we have. It’s crazy…but it’s ours.

You’ve supported him when he stepped away from blogging and bought his Cafe Press stuff. That is so flattering and don’t think he takes it for granted. He’s so happy and proud every time he gets a picture of you in a t-shirt or showing him your jugs…er…MUGS. coffee mugs.

Thank you for donating to the Nikon Macro lens fund. I’m not quite there, but i’m closer. Thankful just doesn’t cover it. Blown away every time I get a dollar, 5 dollars…and faint if it’s 10. You all just stagger me with what you all do for other people.

How did we get so lucky?

Well, it’s time to hand him the computer. He’s got over 5 million clip art items to play with.

Any requests?
