Happy Birthday, my love!

Sorry for my lack of blogging, I'll make up for it soon.

Today is Joe's birthday! Can you guess how old he is? Here's a hint: this driver's license picture was TEN YEARS AGO!

We've taken off all week from work, and it's been great. Today we're headed to Houston where we'll see some old friends and then stay at a hotel. We'll join up with his parents and sister to celebrate Mother's Day and the two "kids" birthdays (Joe and his sister) this weekend.

Joe's birthday doesn't make me think much about how old he is, but more about how long we've known each other... it's getting closer to 10 years, which seems like a very long time for someone who thinks they are still about 24 (though this year will bring me to 27). Think about it - I met him only about a year after that picture!

We celebrated his birthday last Saturday (which was planned before we knew we could take the week off). One of us will post about it soon.

Joe, I've had a great week vacationing at home with you.... AND I look forward to spending this birthday and many more with you!
