Happy Birthday Brettles

My dearest husband,

Even though you have officially turned younger than me for the 6th year in a row…i still like you.   Actually, I like you…A LOT.  I may even love you most days.  You are amazing.  You are so good at taking care of our baby girl and so good at taking care of me.  All I have to do is flash you some good ol’ fashioned crazy eyes, and you give me a sweet sweet break.  You work hard for our family so that I dont have to “work” and you totally always fudge the lines on the coffee budget, because you know I need it.

Thank you.  Thank you for being you.  Thank you for watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S for the 80 millionth time in bed, thank you for being my favorite scrabble buddy, thank you for making a meeeeean gin and tonic,  and for grillin damn good steaks.  Thank you for letting me get weird and quiet and introverted, sending me out to have alone time, and then sitting with me while I cry and tell you about how I figured out how I’m feeling (it’s a real thing, I’m being honest).  Thank you for always thinking that what I think sounds good for dinner, sounds good. Thank you for never letting a day go by where I dont feel loved, encouraged, and yes…thank you for even the occasional grope (it’s okay, we’re totally married).  My life is so much better, my darlin, with you in it.  I love you, I love you, I love you.  Cheers baby.  26 looks good on you.

Forever and always,

Your boo.
