Today, Erick is celebrating a birthday. Never have I met someone with the drive and ambition as this man. (Certainly this is one out of the many reasons I married him!) And to think it is just a coincidence that he was born on the exact same day as my father, oh it's just too much! January 19th is definitely a special day in our house, and our wide-eyed and bushy-tailed alarm clock woke us up extra early. I spent the morning trying to envision the perfect cake while making a batch of french toast for the hungry little clutching to my legs. Coffee in hand, we shared breakfast together and sat at the table like we always do, not being able to imagine my life without this family of mine. The years keep flying by for both of us, and I know we are looking forward to many more of them together. Happy birthday, my love.
