Last week my husband celebrated a birthday. Not a ‘milestone,’ but a birthday, nonetheless. And I? I had a blog post half written (which I later discarded, because it was nonsense made of half-written sentences) and a toddler that just wouldn’t cooperate.
But we ended up recovering the whole situation. We had really awesome-ish birthday.
Because, even though I had this big day planned for my husband, nothing went as planned. For one, he had to work. Boo hiss. So by the time he got home from work, he was exhausted. But Ari and I had a couple of things up our sleeve(s)!
First we got the best takeout ever. Sure, we would have loved to have gone out to dinner. But? Toddler + baby + tired parents = takeout. And, although we had planned to make him a cake, we ended up buying him an incredibly decadent chocolate cake! And it was perfection!
So, no, we didn’t have the birthday celebration I hoped to have had for him, we did have a fun family birthday night (which ended promptly at 7:30! Ha!).
I can’t believe what we started was (nearly) 8 years ago.
I can’t believe how much has changed.
But mostly? I can’t believe that what we started.
A life together. A beautiful, tragic, wonderful, exhausting life.
From the moment we started talking, I knew you were the one.
From our first date, I knew I loved you.
Love at first “conversation” is a thing.
I’ve been in love with you from day one.
Sure, things aren’t always easy. But I wouldn’t trade you for the world.
So happiest of (belated) birthdays to you!
