Happy Birthday Honey

This man, is the love of my life. My life would be empty without him. He is my husband, soul mate, father to my children, and most importantly, my best friend.

I'll be the first to tell you our life hasn't always been peaches and cream... We've had our ups and our downs, but he has always been there for me. We've always been there for each other. I can honestly say I am more in love with my hasband than the day I married him. And each day I love him more.

So to my husband, I'd like to say thank you.

Thank you for being my husband. For putting up with me when I nag you for leaving your socks on the floor after you've had a long day and I've been sitting at home on my butt. You freely shower me with your love and affections even when I don't merit them. I know I'm stubborn, hotheaded, and most of the time, flat out impossible to be around... Thank you for loving me in spite of myself. You make me a better woman. You truly are my better half and I wonder around lost when you're not at my side.

Thank you for giving me three beautiful children. I love looking at each of them and finding traces of you in them. It amazes me how lovingly you interact with our two eldest children, and I know Wyatt would have loved being around his daddy just as much as his siblings do. You are a wonderful father!

Since we started our lives together, I can't believe everything we gone through together. We've survived a deployment, each other, and even our greatest fear... the death of a child. And you know what, we're still here to talk about it. I think maybe our marriage has even grown stronger for surviving an event we never thought we'd live through. When I don't feel like life is worth living anymore,... I make it through the day knowing I'll fall asleep in your arms and I wake up because I know the first thing I'll see is your handsome face.

Our family has gone from this...

To this...

To this...

To this...

...All in the five years of your life I've had the privilege to share in as your wife. Happy Birthday my love. I pray we'll be able to celebrate many, many more of your birthday's together. I love you like a circle...
