I can not believe how fast these 7 years has literally flown by in front of my eyes. you've gone from a teeny baby to this beautiful, polite, pleasant big girl! you are such a joy to me, sweetie. every day that goes by, my love for your sweet little self grows even bigger. who knew i could posses so much love within me. my hurt bursts with love and adoration for you. you aren't my baby anymore. you are growing so quickly, but you are turning into an amazing little lady! i love seeing you be happy, and enjoy life - you certainly do and you certainly are happy. which, of course, makes mommy happy as well. your daddy and i are oh so proud of you. you are so smart! you amaze me every single day. i can not wait to watch you grow up and see what you become, for you will do great things in your life, little Angelina! GREAT things! but! don't grow too terribly fast! i want to enjoy you in the moments as well. :)

Mike & A Giveaway

comments closed. winner has already been announced in a different post. :) thank you for entering.

First before I start the giveaway... did you all see the blog post MY HUSBAND wrote to me for my birthday??? If not... go read it!!! What a beautiful thing he wrote to me. Had me in tears. It was a gift in and of itself. My husband truly is amazing, and I am reminded of this daily, when he does the laundry or doesn't always gripe about the house being a disaster. He supports me wholeheartedly in my business ventures, and encourages me to think outside this business box. He is always there for me, caring for me and our girls, and he is just so caring, loving and fun! He does so much for us that amazes me, and he took time out of his incredibly insane work day yesterday to write an amazing blog post to me. Swoon indeed!!! Thank you, Mike! You are the most amazing husband! I love you now and forever. xo

Happy Birthday!!!

So I said I wouldn't do it but, here I am anyway. Today is my lovely wife's 28th birthday and I thought I would take a few minutes to tell her how much I love her, so pardon my interruption.

Happy Birthday Babe! I love you very much and hope that you have a wonderful birthday. Your dedication and support for our family is appreciated more than you could ever know. I once told our marriage counselor that you were the kindest and most thoughtful person I have ever met. That has not changed in the last eight years and you continue to reinforce those beliefs in me daily. You are a strong beautiful woman who deserves the best, not only on her birthday, but everyday. You mean the world to me and can't imagine my life without you. So here is to a great birthday and many more to come.

Love you,

Mike
