He's old...

Happy birthday to my favorite man!

David turns 24 today, so if you get the chance say an extra prayer for him today. He is almost a quarter of a century old, which as Kate so eloquently expressed is "gahhhhh goooo gahhhhh" aka very very old.

It's been quite a year for us - since you turned 23, we:
--found out we were pregnant
--went on quite a few trips: Purdue, Ball State, Atkinson NE, Columbus NE, Colorado, and New Mexico
--did more home improvement projects than I can even count
--laughed a lot
--watched a ton of movies and TV together
--fought a lot too
--survived an appendectomy and a radioactive thyroid treatment
--took lots of walks and drives around town
--went to Menards about 1000 times, no joke
--experienced the birth of our DAUGHTER
--learned how to care for a baby together
--took lots of fun selfies
--failed at loving each other sometimes, but tried and tried again to be better

I love you so much, dear. Hope this next year is as wonderful as the last was!
your wife,
HJ
