Happy Birthday My Love

Happy birthday to my best friend, partner in life, father to our girls and the hottest man I know and get to be married to.

Doug, I love the way you give 100% in everything you do, even when it drives me nuts. You never cut corners, and when I call you a perfectionist, you come back with “that’s why I chose you”!

I love the food you so thoughtfully and creatively make us almost every night of the week…even on a random Monday. I also love how you take care of our neighbors and make food for them as well.

I love your creativity. You’ve made our yard a haven, a place we all love to be. Our house design and decor are your work.

You are a great percussionist and an awesome DJ. I love watching you perform because you have such an amazing talent and stage presence.

I love how you care for the girls. They know to go to you for the most honest opinion. They also love the awesome and thoughtful vacations you plan, the meals you make, and teach them how to make, and the theme songs you play on their birthday or after a breakup. Haha.

I love how you’ve taken such great care of me throughout the years, through the good and bad. These perimenopause years have not been easy, but you still educate yourself on the process and have been so caring and understanding through it all. I love the way you plan little surprises for me, or have a glass of wine waiting when I get home after a tough shift. I love the fun we have together on the boat, playing checkers, hanging out in the pool, watching movies, and running errands together.

Happy birthday to a wonderful man. I love you babe!

Dinner at Casa Santa Stephano was amazing, and we got a surprise show from a local touring company. After dinner and dessert we walked around Ybor, then headed home for gifts.
