Happy Birthday Alex!

December 20, 2008 by The Chatty DM

dsc04104Hey there!

December 20th marks a very special day in our family.  This is the day that the holidays officially starts as it’s my wife Alex’s birthday.  She’s the love of my life and she’s been by my side for more than 12 years!

We’ve spoken about gamer friendly significant others in the past.  I must reiterate just how incredible Alex has been.  She’s been really supportive of my gaming habits.  She’s displayed pride in my success as a blogger. She’s also surmounted an initial resistance to Video Games as a family activity and now enjoys playing Cooking Mama, Rock Band and Dance Dance Revolution with the kids and I.

She’s also a geek in her own way.  Having mastered the intricacies of iTunes, watching geek TV shows and being among the best Computer troubleshooters at her work place.  I’m really proud of her geek and professional accomplishments.

To you my love, I wish you the best of birthdays!

Here’s to many many more!

Feel free to add your own wishes!
