I am not very cheesy lately...at least lovey dovey cheesy. Miekka may disagree! I love my husband. I am glad he was born, grew up mostly normal, and ended up marrying me. We have a fun time poking each other's buttons. Due to previous experiences before we met the circumstances of our relationship are nothing short of miraculous. We deserve each other...the good and bad. Our family genealogies intertwine most interestingly. His great-grandfather gave my grandma her patriarchal blessing, my great-great-great-great grandfather baptized Anson Call, and on and on. He is a good man. Glad I met and married you "hon." Hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow! The plans include: going to church, making a cake, having two families over for dinner, eating "death by pork product", and letting Amelia open his presents.
