To Mrs. S,

Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea. I love you because…

  • … For being my permanent designated driver lately, AND tolerating it (or at least pretending to do so)
  • … You greet me with a meow in the morning, instead of a “hi”
  • … The cute smile you get on your face after the first sip of a Lemon Drop when you exclaim “That’s a good one!”
  • … You insist that “The Shocker” is a perfectly acceptable sign to give in pictures, usually related to the point above.
  • … Your love of “Sky Cows” (a cow, at the top of a hill that is perfectly outlined by the blue sky)
  • … You laugh at most of my stupid jokes, even the ones that cross the line
  • … Your Darth Vader snores in the middle of the night
  • … Your inability to live without the internet, or your laptop for 30 minutes
  • … You can’t go into a pet adoption without finding SOMEONE you want to take home
  • … We’ve known each other for 13 years, and each day is better than the last
  • … For how hard you’ve been working at growing our little bean
  • … For waking up from a deep slumber, only to tell me how tired you are, and then going back to sleep
  • … For making me a better person
  • … For being my soul mate, my best friend
  • … For being the woman of my dreams

Happy Birthday!
