I am generally pretty darn excited about not only being married to K., but being such a big part of his life and being his best friend. This year all of those feelings are magnified. A lot.
We had a tough year in a number of ways. As individuals. As parents. In our relationships. In our work lives. With our long terms plans. With our finances. And through it all K. has been a person of strength and integrity, determination and conviction, affirming and loving the kids and I through the best and worst of it. He does what is right when it is hard. He stands up for the oppressed. He strives to help the helpless. He is a good person, responsible, motivated, funny, interesting, dedicated, affectionate, and a little strange.
I love him like crazy for all of it. Still pinch myself most mornings. Still smile when I see him. Still have to hold myself back from calling him 30 times a day to hear his voice. Still laugh at his jokes. Still crave his touch.
Happy 37 K.! I wish you a year of goodness and joy and fun and all of the wonderful things I would want for you all wrapped up with a bow just for you. Thanks in advance for letting me be a part of it.
