Happy Birthday

Today is your birthday...

your 30th...

and I am so glad to be a part of it.

These last few years have been big for us...

graduation, moving, and moving again...

oh yeah, and there was this...

you becoming a dad.

This has been the coolest...

you are the best.

Being a dad has made you even better.

I love how you take care of us...

how you worry about what could go wrong...

and make a plan to stop it.

I love how happy being a dad makes you...

how the joys are in the smaller things...

how she looks for you when every she hears you.

I love how her word lights up at the sight of you...

how she calls for you when she gets mad.

I love how you love us...

everyday, in every way.

I love everything about today and that I have know you for so many birthdays before.

And I get to look forward to all the birthdays yet to come.

Happy Birthday Michael, my love.
