Today marks the birthday of my favorite person! He is a serving husband to me, a loyal friend to many, and a loving uncle, son & brother.
My random piece of advice today is to my beloved single girlfriends - marry your best friend. Even though we've only been married for 2 1/2 months, I've already had little flashes of my life in 5, 10, 25, 50 years and it has made me believe that there is no other option. My hope for us is not just that our faith in God and love for each other would sustain our marriage, but that we would grow in appreciation for one another and that our relationship will reach greater heights through the good times & bad. That we would remember how we can say & do anything in each other's presence, how we sing silly songs at home, can laugh together at stupid shows & movies, bow our heads in prayer when we sit down to dinner, and after a long day sit around and simply share our work woes, or talk about politics, religion, sports, current events. Sometimes I pretend to gripe about my constant discoveries about how much smarter he is than me, but the reality is that I secretly love it! I'm a pretty competitive person in most things that I do, and when we were dating I was complaining to my friend Karin about how he could easily beat me at word/board games and she said "Wow, you must really love him!". So, yeah, it turns out I really do :).
Happy birthday, dear. I'm sorry you're feeling under the weather today, but know that I am so thankful for you, and I wish for many, many more healthy years with you to come. Love you!
