Hey babe.  It’s been a rough couple of weeks.  And a crazy couple of months.  And now that I think about it, the last 11 years have been pretty fast paced.

But when I look back at it all, I pretty much think you’re superman.  You’re a great husband, incredible dad, and super talented at your job.  You take time for friends, but keep your priorities in line.  You mean the world to me.

And to our little girl?  You are everything.  You can do anything, and you make everything possible. You come home from work, cook a healthy dinner, play with her in the backyard, and then tuck her in at night.  You support her and play princesses, but you also teach her how to climb a tree.

You work hard to give her the best in life, but you already have given her the best in life.  And if anyone asks what her daddy does for a living, she proudly tells them all about it.  And when they ask what mommy does, she confidently says that I check the mail.  :/ 

Thank you for loving me.  For staying true to your promise 11 years ago (before we were even engaged) that you would always work on our marriage first, because with a strong marriage, strong kids emerge.  You put our marriage as a priority, which means we naturally pour out love into her and spend quality time together.  I couldn’t ask for more!

I love you, and I’m so thankful for you,

Susan

PS: I wanted to include some of my favorite pictures of the two of you, and it turns out that every picture of you guys is my favorite.  🙂
