Happy Birthday husband

 You turn 49 today.

You have been in my life for 23 years.

I am so glad you were born.

I got to see you become a father.  I got to parent with you.

Best of all I got to be loved by you. Your gentle calmness tamed my wildness.

Oh the adventures you have had in this life.

And I got to come along.  Bet other women would be jealous if they knew that every time I washed dishes, you come running and "pay" me with a back rub and dishes-kisses.

 

Took me 15 years but I finally defeated you in a game of chess. Guess lessons from a Fide Master pay off.

You introduced me to bowling.

and to motherhood.

added Sunday night dinner into my life.

Lady Liberty, Oregon state champ!

You enriched my life with games I would have never played. 

As well as enriching our children's lives.

You will always be the Paladin to my druid. 

Even when you roll over me and take my cities.

Back alley bridge night.

Story of my life. Even when you spot me massive prestige, you are a formidable opponent, and I love to face off with you.

Your children inherited your love of games and adventure.

As well as your gentle kindness.

I'm so glad you're having another birthday  my love.

Thank you for all you do for our family.
