HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

*I don't have much time, so I will try to come back and add to this later*

We don't have much money this year, and we are also trying to get rid of clutter in our lives. So Adam said he didn't want things for his birthday, but rather experiances. I found an awsome card for him... but it was $6 for a sheet of paper. So, I thought I would blog to the Love of my life as a non-clutter gift.

Adam, you are so perfect for me. When we met, it would have taken an act of congress to make me laugh when I was upset. Now you do that on a regular all the time. Just being near you makes me feel better. Thinking of you right now, brings a smile to my face. You know just what I need to cheer me up.(just think of all those years you kept Chocolate hidden to toss at me...)

I know that I have been awful to live with for the past 6 years, thanks so much for sticking with me while I got past the pregnancy and post-pardom depression!! There were some very low days, and I remember you coming home and looking at me and turning around and taking things under control. Like last night, I had great plan, then the migraine hit and I was a mess. You had a hard day, but you took care of the kids, you even took Donna to dance! (I still want to know if you hide behind your phone, or chat with all the other moms haha)I now feel joy again and as I look back, I can't believe how hard it must have been for you to not only see me as a different person, but to live with those mood swings every few minutes.

Only you could make me laugh at things I still think are stupid, but I still laugh. Only you could bring me that patience with other types of humor. (Of course I just walk away or grit my teeth when it is someone else) You bring out a passion in me that I had hidden away. I want to be a better person for our family and for you.

I'm sorry hon, but you are going to have to think of something new to toss at me now. The chocolate worked wonders. lol Whenever I have told anyone about it, it sounds so bad, like feeding a caged animal. I guess at times it was a bit like that, only I wasn't in a cage. lol Stinking hormones!

I love the way the kids long for you to come home. They get very excited to know it is almost time for daddy to come home. We were walking through the store today, and Ethan sow something that reminded him of you. He hit my arm and said "dad!" and pointed to a box of cereal. I have no idea why, but it reminded him of dad, then he went on to ask about dad and where is dad. Today he was throwing a fit and didn't want to put clothes on, I told him dad would like those clothes, and he sat down and let me dress him. It takes a special man to form a bond like that.(I still don't think it is fair, I got the sleepless nights, and you get the love and hugs)

Ugggh I have so much to say, but I have to go make lunch. I'll be back...
