HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today is Meg's birthday!  (This is the part when everybody cheers.)

Perhaps I should tell everyone about my wife.  That's a picture of us at a friend's wedding in Jamaica.  She's the hot one in front of the not-so-closet-case nerd.

Megan is an amazing woman  How else do you describe someone who daily has to put up with three immature boys (Nate, Sam, and me)?  I can barely survive 6 hours with Nate and Sam, and I'm not trying to do a dozen things in addition.  Basically I should go out and buy her a super hero cape.  Or at least a waffle cone.*

What amazes me is that throughout all the hardship of the last 5 years, Meg has stuck by me.  Of course there have been time we have both wanted to run away, sometime together.  She is stubborn, and most of the time that is a good thing.  She hasn't given up.  Not on me, or our family.  Nor has she given up on herself.  She keeps pushing herself to be better.  Whether that is by training to run a 5k, "debating" me on theology, or researching the various requirements for different educational opportunities available.

I could not be more proud of her for all she has done and continues to do.  I am constantly amazed by her.  And that is the answer to her constant question.  You see, I tell her "I love your," and she will ask "why?"  But that's why.  I want to love her, to care for her and be where she is so that I can be amazed.

So, dear beautiful wife of mine who I adore, I love you, and thank you for being born.  Happy Birthday!
