The BEST birthday card, ever!!

[fisherofmengirly]

My husband absolutely melted my heart today, and the card I got was just the best icing on the cake (the cake was an icecream cake, by the way!). Gosh, how can you not love a man like him???

The card reads:

For my Wife (my FIRST wife birthday card!!!):

You know the story,
two people meet and fall in love,
they move all their belongings
into the same small place
and begin to make a life together.

They discover that they have three toasters,
two blenders, and not even one coffeemaker.

They don''t fold their shirts the same way,
and they can''t always agree on
whose turn it is to clean house.

But these are the little things,
and because these two people love each other,
they find a way to work them out.

As time passes, there are other things--
money worries, illnesses, family crises.

These are the big things.

But because they love each other,
they find a way to work them out, too.

And on special days like birthdays,
they think about each other
and about all the fun they share
and about how their love has
got them through the not-so-fun stuff.

And he says to her...

Thanks for everything. I still love you very much.

*To which my sweetie boy adds happy birthday on my 28th year, and my first birthday as a wife. I couldn''t have said it better.*

Awww!!! Hallmark must have known my boy''s heart when they wrote this one!

I cried and cried and it was great!! I love birthdays, and birthdays with my husband are even better!!!

Fishie, I hope you had a great birthday. Your card is soooo sweet, Paul picked well.

Is it scrapbooked yet?

great card--not too sappy--just right.

I like to keep all my special cards from DH--that one is a keeper so put it away somewhere to read years from now.

I''ve probably read that card over 10 times, and it still makes me smile and tear up at the same time. Especially the bit about the small place with too much stuff crowded around!!

Equestrienne, I wish I had it scrapbooked, but I''ve not done any of that since like a month after we got married. It got packed away, and there''s no room to unpack it and actually do it. Paul asked the other week where the scrapbook was of our marriage and I told him it was sitting in the shoe box where I have all the memories crammed right now.

I''ll get to it; it''s all organized and dated.


Thanks for the birthday wishes! It was a GREAT day!!
