Happy Birthday Love!

AlexIt’s become a tradition on this blog to wish the woman of my life a happy birthday.  She’ll turn XX+1 tomorrow (Sunday).

This year has been a  particularly trying one for us and I’m eternally grateful that we made it through intact.  I owe a lot of it to Alex’s resilience and willingness to believe in us and in me when I stopped doing it myself.

Needless to say that each morning that I still see her sleeping by my side fills me with joy and a sense of peace.

I just wish I could tell her the words that so easily come to me when I write.

Alex, you are the coolest, sexiest, most beautiful,geek girl I have ever met… We’ve made it 13 years and I still hope to write these yearly posts for 30+ more.

Oh and I understand and respect why you are in team Edward… I’m fine that Robert Pattionson and the two Supernatural boys made it on ‘The list” :)

(Go team Jacob!!!)

Dear readers, Alex is a huge part of Chatty’s success. She believes in my dreams and pushes as hard as I do to make them come true.  She plans around my mad moments (thankfully more manageable now) and gets that I need to spend hours writing (she spends the time doing her own geeky cool things).  She truly is the Patron Goddess of gamer friendly wives.   Heck, she didn’t veto me when I mistakenly planned a Mouseguard game on her birthday tomorrow…

I’m the luckiest man alive and I’m well aware of it.  I love you Chérie-belle.

As is now tradition, please send her your birthday wishes, I’m sure she’ll appreciate.  If you have sexy-cool vampire/Supernatural Youtubes, send the links!

Thanks everyone.

    Happy birthday Alex!

    If Phil’s Mouseguard game doesn’t involve a beautiful, kind, forgiving queen, he’s obviously not writing about what he knows.
