Birthday boy

If he'd let me, I'd post a photograph of my beloved that I shot while we were in Seattle. I took it when we were taking a very, very cold boat tour of the bay, without a coat or gloves. . . but we insisted on riding on top of the boat so we could get a good view. We're freezing and my lips were blue, but he looked amazing. . . I'd love to show you how adorable he is and how his eyes look straight to your soul. But he won't let me.

Instead, I'll just wish him a very happy 35th birthday. . . and remind him that he's not old, if he wants to see old, just look across the table at dinner tonight, I've got almost four years on him.

Happy birthday. For your birthday I'm going to get you a big old house with lots of storage, two bathrooms and a new washer and dryer. If you are lucky, one of the bathrooms will have pink tile. That's how much I love you.

Oh, and since you love snow so much, I ordered up a 1/2 inch of it just for you.
