When I met John, I sure hit the jackpot.

Over the years, he has continued to support everything I do. Even when I have a particularly wacky idea.

Today is my 47th birthday. Now, I love my birthday a lot. This is not a secret. 😉 I am not sure how he manages it but every year is better than the one before.

Today, he has given me a present every hour.

They have been thoughtful presents that also let me know that he listens to me.

• I started the day with a note from each of my children.
• We then proceeded to a family picture for work.
• a scarf, gloves and headband
• a chiropractor appointment
• a bouquet of flowers
• a massage
• soda
• a warm blanket

I am not sure what is coming next except dinner out is on the list. He really is incredible.

What you may not know is he does the grocery shopping, the meals, runs the kids everywhere, cleans the house and a myriad of other things. All the while maintaining a full time job and supporting my job.

A thank you seems so little for all that he does for me. So, I decided to write this post to help me remember all that he is doing.

I am grateful every day for picking up a pencil and writing him a letter. That letter has changed my life for the better.

He is an incredible blessing to me. I am also glad he gets me. He understands what I love and does his best to provide it.

I love you John. Thank you for another magical year.
