Mr. Shumate. My husband. My best friend. You are the most important person in my life. I am so happy you were born 28 years ago today. Because let’s be realistic here. Who else could put up with my pancake/waffle Saturdays? (Even though I know you get so sick of breakfast food, you put up with it.) Who else could put up with my sentimental ways? (Which is a nice way of saying I am sort of a pack-rat.) Without you I would surely die an old maid.

If I could only count all the ways I love you. I don’t think it’s a coincidence we both love Christmas more than the typical human being. Or fall or summer. Or spring for that matter. Even though we can’t agree on equally liking the rain, that’s okay. Because we can’t like ALL of the same things. But I am so glad you like to spend your time with me. Because if I could have it my way, I would spend every minute of the rest of my life with you. I don’t care if that makes people want to gag. Thinking of being away from your sweet face makes my heart ache.

You make me laugh. Hard. You bring so much joy into our home. And you always make sure our home is full of love. I really, really appreciate that. I have so much more to say, but I’ll save the juicy stuff for your birthday card.

Thanks for making me fall in love with you 5 and a half years ago. We have 100 more birthdays to celebrate and forever after that.
