I get so excited for other people’s birthdays. And if you’re someone I love—all the more to celebrate. So in honor of my dear husband’s birthday, I made a list. Just some favorite things I love about him. Happy Birthday, love.
you were the cutest baby ever
you showed me our favorite spot in one of our favorite cities
how much you love zoos
that you did this one time at a little girls’ birthday party
that we discovered this together in the Boboli Garden despite having both studied abroad in Florence
that if there is a dog within 20 feet, you are playing with it
that you dove into “the matador” with your hands at Pio Pio, sopped green sauce, and even broke a sangria glass
your eye for beauty and love of the beach and ocean
your appreciation of sweets – and that this often happily happens
that you’re such a great snowboarder, but still hit the bunny slopes with me
the friendship you have with my friends, too
that we love Dave Matthews and all the Dave concerts we’ve been to
your relationship with this little partner in crime here
a sense of humor like this
and also things like this 
and that we went to a music festival on an island once despite a hurricane warning
what a fabulous photographer you are
that you had a Halloween costume like this once 
your explorer’s spirit
and interest in history (@ Fort Warren on Georges Island)
I love you very, very much. Happy Birthday!!
Beautifully done Wendy….he is a wonderful man and we love him to pieces, as you know. I don’t know how he puts up with us! I hope he has a wonderful b’day…the angels smiled the day he was born!
