Tyler,
I know your birthday isn’t until Sunday, but remember, I want to celebrate YOU all week ๐
I remember being 17, sitting in our high school parking lot making you look away while I ate a double cheese burger from McDonalds. I was afraid that you might not like me if you saw me eat. It’s been almost 7 years since that day. Who would have thought that the boy I first saw with his Tuba in 5th grade, and wouldn’t let him watch me eat in 12th grade would one day be my husband. That he would become my boyfriend in 7th grade, and then again Senior year of high school.ย That we would spend the next 6.5 years growing up together, traveling the world, and dreaming BIG.
Tyler you are the perfect husband for me, and I am so thankful for God placing you in my life. You never cease to amaze me. You have and continue to believe in me, push me to be a better person, and love me unconditionally. You are up for traveling the world with me. Thank you. Thank you for letting me watch Netflix when you’ve been trying to finish Breaking Bad for over a year. Thank you for always giving me the window seat, and letting me still rest on your shoulder. Thank you for being a champ when it comes to getting our photos taken because you know how much it means to me. ย Thank you for making me feel loved always. For leading us closer to God. For always serving me, even when I’m not the best servant in return. Thank you for making our lives together an adventure; for being willing to travel to a new place one time a year every year of our lives. This weekend we are celebrating YOU! And next week we will continue the celebration in Hawaii!! I love you so much; more than any words could ever say!ย Happy Birthday, Love!
