Happy Birthday Ady

43 tomorrow!

I did a bit of a slushy post – I know, not like me really 😉 – last year so if your Saturday night is cold and lonely and you want to read a bit of my sentimentality feel free to go and look at that. This year is rather more low key, other than seeing my parents we don’t have proper plans for tomorrow yet – all very weather dependent really. He has a box of chocolates and an ebay Pompey top to open in the morning along with £20 to go and spend at the Pompey shop in their end of season sale sometime next week and some made cards from the children which they did today along with a cake I’ll bake in the morning.

I’m reminded every single day in millions of little ways why I married Ady, there was no one else who could have persuaded me to have children, no one else I’d have jacked in my plans to go travelling for in favour of settling down at 19 and buying a house instead, no one else I’ve ever asked for forgiveness, no one else who’s ever offered it. No mirror will give me a more beautiful reflection than that which I see in his eyes when he looks at me, no one else have ever known exactly where all my buttons are and the right ways in which to press them, no one else makes me laugh so loud and long, no one else makes me melt with a single look, no one else makes me feel like I’ve come home just by holding my hand.

If I live to be old I hope it’s by his side, taking his hand and jumping when he asked me remains the single best decision I ever made, whatever our future holds it doesn’t matter because it’s ‘ours’ and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re not about big dramas, slammed doors, raised voices, ups and downs, we’re nto about grand gestures, hearts and flowers, moonlight and roses. He is the person I know best in the whole world, yet still I learn something new about him every day, he is the person who knows me best, yet still he wants to learn more. The only promises we’ve ever made to each other we have kept, currently the ‘for poorer’ one is holding true ;), our dreams, hopes and plans are shared ones and as we ride life’s rollercoaster together there is noone I’d rather be holding hands and screaming with along the way, noone I’d rather have my name matched with and no one I’d rather sit alongside in the photo at the end.

Happy Birthday Darling. I love you very much. xxx
