Happy Birthday Kevin

George pinky swore Kevin that he didn't have to have any more birthdays and could stay 29 forever. :) I think he plans to remind me of that next year.

It has been 10 years since we met, since I first made him a birthday cake. This year was far from perfect, I had planned to make a great cake, but a week of no kitchen sink made that hard. However I think I did better with a candle stuck in the top of a stack of steaks than the coconut monstrosity I made that first year. Kevin hates coconut flakes, and there were A LOT on that first cake. He ate it like a champ though!

Happy birthday sweetheart!

Kevin,
At 19 I don't think I totally understood how lucky I was. I do now, and I'm so glad to have you in my life. As the years have gone by, I stop sometimes and think about all the memories we've made, the good times we've shared and the love between us that keeps growing. You are not only my husband, but my best friend You are a blessing - one that I do not take for granted. I thank you for all the things that you've done for me and the kids. Not only are you a wonderful husband, you're a terrific father, provider and caregiver. You are one of the kindest people I know. You would give everything you have for someone, I know because you have done that for me. The last few years have been rough, especially on you. Thank you for toughing it out with me. I love you, Hon ... more than words, more than life. I'm forever grateful for your love and proud to be your wife.

Love,
Melissa
