Happy Birthday Captain Awesome!

The crazy events of this spring, starting with my SIL Emily's coma, ending with my BIL Brent's heart attacks, and including a million other instances in between, have reminded me of the frailty of our most important relationships.

My most important relationship is with this guy:
I could go on and on about how great he is and what a wonderful husband he is and how much fun we have -- and though he would LOVE that, I just don't think you guys want to read a bunch of sappiness.

I guess I have just really realized lately that we can't take relationships for granted. They are entities of their own -- growing, changing, and fragile.

Ok, I'm verging on sappy; so, in honor of Cash's appreciation of succinctness, I will say this: "Dude, you are awesome." :)
I love you.

Oh, and I think he would be super pleased if I posted this:

It has been quite a ride around here, and I have so appreciated and depended on you and Cash for support and love. It's true that we are blessed with good husbands who are great fathers, and I happen to have awesome brothers as well. And because I have smart brothers, I am blessed to enjoy amazing sisters-in-law. I won't take that for granted, either. Thank you. Love you both.

Happy Birthday, Little Brother!! Very cool waterskiing pic! Ok, you are pretty good... ;)

So clever (your post and your husband)!

Years ago Kevin Lamb, speaking of you guys said to me, "Those two sure have it together." Jay and I long ago gave up trying to keep up with the Hills but we love being related to them - all of them.
