To the man who probably has sore shoulders from all of the times he has carried our kids...



To the only man I know who would try to pull off this hat...



To the man who is willing to learn new things to get projects done around the house...

To the man who knows this picture is a true capture of our home life most of the time... and is OK with that!...



To the man who can tell me what vendor supplies which items at Melting Pot b/c of his job at GFS...



And to the man who has been my best friend, my lover, and my husband for the past 5 years...
