It's this man's birthday today, the one who's stood by me through thick and thin, through all sorts of trials and tribulations, through sleepless nights and hikes in the mountains and music playing and children laughing and so many, many blessings.  It is also the month that marks the day I have been with him for fully half of my life.  

Do you know what?  

I am truly blessed by being married to my best friend, this God-loving, bass-playing, hard-working husband of mine.  

Happy Birthday, Husband.  You make me happy beyond what words can express.  (And you look darn good in that Stetson, too!)
