HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!

At 6:20 I heard him creep out of bed and quietly shut the door to our bedroom. I looked at the clock, waited 'til I heard our car door slam and drive off. I jumped out of bed, it's time to get down to business. I have probably about 1 hour before he gets home from the gym. Let's make magic happen...

... The kitchen is covered in pancake mix, there's dishes everywhere, oil, and batter sticking to almost every surface. Really though?? You just add water, how is it this messy?? Maybe it's because I'm doing everything in the dark. But I can't turn the lights on! He might see them from outside...

... I waited until I saw his silhouette enter the living room, reaching to turn on some lights, and right before he could do it I popped on the lights and yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYY."...

... He laughed. He ate his fluffy chocolate chip pancakes, and then was off to school. But before he left, I was able to snatch a few reluctant photos of him in his brand spankin' new plaid BOLD shirt...

LOVE that face.

... And then he left, but not before he made sure I knew who was the quickest draw in the south thanks to his new plaid shirt...

In all sneriousness though, and yes I said sneriousness, Zack you are the bestest hubby in the world, I am so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so blessed to be able to spend my life with you!!

And congratulations, because today you have reached the halfway point to your ultimate goal : 50. Here's to the next 25 years!

love you with all my heart
