Happy Birthday Christopher!



It's his birthday, you see. That is why I wished him a happy birthday up there in the title line. Please accept my advanced apology for the cheesiness that will follow.

When we were dating, I tried to pray to ask Heavenly Father if Chris was "the one" for me. But I couldn't even ask the question because as soon as I got on my knees, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the gift of Chris in my life. That's how I'm feeling today (even though Chris has been home sick, which is not really a great gift).

Chris brings balance to my life. When I am dramatic and passionate, he is a voice of reason and he calms me. When I am overly logical, he reminds me that emotion is okay. When I am down, he lifts me. When he is low, he allows me to help him. He is fun and spontaneous and I am neither. Well, except the fun part. I am nothing if not all kinds of fun. But spontaneous? No. No way. I majored in planning. Literally. Anyway, Chris balances my life. I love him everyday.

Always conscious of germs and disease, Chris chose not to blow out the candles on his cake. He clapped the air and the candles went out. The children thought it was a great trick.

Ew. I hope he washed his hands before he clapped over the cake! :)
