Eliza (a.k.a. Lovey Bun #1)
Happy 36th!!!! I canโt believe that youโre 36. If my math is correct this is our 28th birthday together (14 years * you * me).
Youโve blossomed into such an incredible partner, wife, and mama. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up with you and how you put up with me.
I spent this morning (while you and Bun were still sleeping) listing the 36 things I most deeply appreciate about you. Iโm convinced there are far more but I ran out of numbers.
Wishing you another happy, fulfilled and prosperous trip around the sun. I hope this is our best together. May you age and grow with grace.
I love you loads,
Steve (a.k.a. dada)
