Birthday Card from my DH

I've already posted this on Facebook, so if you see me there, you can skip this post!

This is the verse from the card my fantastic husband gave me for my birthday today.

My Wife

"It's just another day," you say.
"It's no big deal," you say.
But to me, the anniversary
of the day YOU came into existence
is about the biggest deal there is.
Until you came along,
I never thought it was possible
that one single person
could so totally steal my heart away.
But that's what you've done.
One look at you, and all I want to do
is be near you, touch you, hear your voice,
and hold you so close that it's impossible
to tell where you end and I begin.
I think you're incredible,
and what I want, more than anything,
is to try to make you as happy
as you've made me - if that's possible.
In a way, I feel guilty....I mean,
here it is your birthday,
and yet I'm the one
who gets to enjoy the gift....
the gift of you and your love.
Happy Birthday.

Love you,
David

I had a very nice birthday. We went to our favorite Waco steakhouse (Diamond Back's) on Saturday night with Shaylor and Jeanne and they treated. It was great food, and awesome company. Thank you Shaylor and Jeanne. Mom made me my favorite cake - a coffee cake with broiled cocunut/pecan icing....yum. I had it for breakfast today. It's okay to do that on your birthday, right?

Then we met our long time friends, the Brandon family, for lunch in Cleburne today. Kim and Alicia made me an incredible cake that Shelby decorated beautifully with pink icing and white fondant. It was fabulous. We stayed and visited so long that David finally said..."We either need to leave, or order dinner." Then I realized it was 4:30! Unfortunately, Brandon was running fever (there is a cold bug running through the dorm) and was not able to join us.

I had a great birthday and am thankful for my great family and friends...especially my dear husband.
