Happy Birthday Jamie

Jamie 5

Happy birthday to my husband Jamie!

So much to say. So little time because one kid is in the dog dish, one needs a snack, Cooper can’t find his iPad, and I’m attached to a breast pump.

So I’ll just say thank you for being with me on this journey.

It’s never dull. It’s never quiet. I miss you a lot…even when we are in the same room. We have our four beautiful children to blame for that.

We are blessed beyond measure. I know that for certain. And maybe this year things will slow down. And get easier. But I doubt it. So let’s promise each other to hang on for a while longer. Yell less. Hold hands more. And cut each other a bit more slack.

I dedicated my book to you. I wrote that you feel like coming home. And for that I am thankful.

Happy birthday.
