It’s been quite some time since I blogged. Facebook (and occasionally Twitter) have become my blogging. Maybe I’ll become a special occasion blogger. Hey, today happens to be a special occasion… it’s Dave’s birthday.
I love you, Dave! I would never do anything that would publicly divulge your age, but I do want to tell you some of the things I love most about you.

4. You know all (okay, most) of the words to the 2nd verse of You are My Sunshine.
5. You know when to admit I’m right. (Like a RECORD baby.)

9. You know what kind of flowers not to send.

Love you baby. xoxox
Awwww… thanks baby! That almost made me cry. No, no… these aren’t tears. My eyes are just sweating. I think this is the single sweetest thing you’ve ever done for me. It is better than any present. (Ladies take notice. If you want to ‘woo’ your man, write something like this.) Can I please rub your feet tonight? Please!
Love,
Dave
