today is his birthday. it’s a big one this year… i won’t say which! ; ) i thought about searching the archives for my absolute fave image of him (or us together), but alas came upon this gem. it is one of those images that makes me jump up and down with excitement, while at the same time gives me the flutteriest of butterflies. taken this last fall by my pal shalina, and definitely one that will be on canvas in our room hopefully soon.
not only do we celebrate his big day today, but it also marks eleven years since we met. it’s kinda a cute story. oh what’s that? you wanna hear it? okay sure, you asked nicely : )
it was high school (yes, it was) i was the new girl at school – a timid sophmore. he was a senior, and not just any senior… the star baseball player-letterman jacket wearing-all around cool guy-senior. we had drama class together. he pulled some lame one-liner on me. i was hooked. fast forward eleven years later and i am absolutely more in love with this man now, than i was the day i married him. we have endured a long distance relationship, the loss of our first baby, the births of our two incredible boys, heartache, laughter, love, and so many tiny moments that make up our story.
he is amazing – as a father, a husband, a friend, and as a son. he is a man of integrity, he loves to tease, and he loves his giants. i hope he knows how much he means to us.
