Birthday Happenings

Mark's birthday is today, and poor guy had to wait it out until the end of the work day to open any gifts. I gave him the option of giving him his gifts before work, but because I leave so early (5:45am), he chose to wait. :)

Christian and one of the girls who watches him and Elias made him a sweet birthday card.


I adore this picture.


He loved the Cowboys tickets I got him


Today I have loved you for 2,189 days

I also made him an alphabet of love book. I bought a plain sketchbook from Barnes and Noble and went through the alphabet to tell him how much I love him.

Christian and I then made Mark his favorite cupcakes, Red Velvet. He could hardly wait until his favorite dinner (Pot Roast) was finished so he could devour a cupcake or two. Ha!


Happy Birthday to my spectacular husband. I truly am the luckiest because of him.

The Luckiest

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns
The stumbles and falls brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it every day

And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born 50 years before you
In a house on the street where you live?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize

And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have
Ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his 90s
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's
A strange way to tell you
That I know we belong

That I know
That I am
The luckiest
