The card says it all....

Yesterday I turned thirty-two, another year into my thirties. The age I thought was so grown up, mature, and responsible when I was twenty-three and right out of college. Only, that can't possibly be me. I can't possibly have reached that stage of my life already. Clearly, I haven't made much progress since last year. But then I received the following card from my husband and I realized, that's exactly where I am and I couldn't be happier.

Once there was this guy.
A nice guy, really.
And he met this girl.
An incredible girl - truly amazing.
So naturally the guy falls
head over heels in love with her,
and pretty soon they're picking out
china patterns and rings
and there's a wedding
and the starry-eyed couple
rides off into what will surely
be a rosy future.

Okay, so now some time has passed
and the guy is living in that future.
He's still married to this girl,
but now their life includes a lot of stuff-
appliances and bills and loads of laundry
and home repairs projects.
But between all the to-dos and have-tos,
there are these moments
when the guy stops for a minute
and looks around him.

He looks at his wife,
who is still truly amazing,
he looks at their life together,
all the ways and different directions it's grown,
he looks at all the responsibilities he's got,
and he thinks to himself,
so this is my life.

And then he thinks,
I am one helluva lucky guy.

Happy Birthday!

I love you!
Cameron
(I think the cards says it all)

Not only am I married to the sweetest man ever, but he's pretty damn smart, too!
