Happy Birthday to My Favorite Human!
You do so much for this family, most of it quietly in the background. But today, I want to shout it from the rooftops: I see you. I appreciate you. I love you forever.
You're the Mulder to my Scully. The Pa to my Ma Ingalls. The Pierre to my Marie Curie. Even when I irritate the heck out of you (and let’s be honest, that’s probably more often than I would like to admit), you still keep me around.
You’re an amazing father to our kids, and the only man I could tolerate through the chaos and nonsense we seem to wade through daily. You might not be one for public appearances, but you still show up in the best ways—like delivering eggs to our local food shelf. Cleaning up after every Free Exchange I put together, every class I have taught at our house, and every mess in the kitchen I have made while cooking huge meals for other events. Those acts of kindness don’t go unnoticed. You might not do the public networking part of our homestead life, but it wouldn't be functional without you.
Thank you for being my partner in this wild life we’ve built together. I appreciate you forever and for everything.
Happy Birthday, love. Here’s to more adventures, more chaos, and more animals! (😂 He's absolutely not going to like me getting more animals)
Oh, and thank you for always cleaning our bedsheets on Mondays so I can scoop myself into soft comfy bed after starting a crazy week at work. 😂
