To my best friend in the whole world,

I’m sorry our weekend was so grueling and we had to cancel the babysitter and you had to wipe kid barf off the toilet. I’m sorry things are just so incredibly stressful right now and I’m sorry I haven’t worked harder to keep the peace between us. I’m sorry if it hasn’t been clear that I’m on your side through this entire process, that I want to move to Oregon because I believe in my heart it’s what you want to do and I want to make that happen for you and for us. I’m sorry if it’s ever seemed like I don’t support your business and your dreams because I do. I’m sorry if I don’t slow down enough and hug you and tell you how much I love you and how grateful I am to have this life with you. Because oh, I do, and I am.

I’m sorry I let Riley pick out your birthday wrapping and that your presents came in a giant Transformers bag. I’m sorry you’re 37 today because damn, Grandpa.

Linda – when i comes to apologies, I have always found that a BJ speaks louder than words. Especially if you hum.

Awww! Happy Birthday JB!!!

I know how it is the feel proud and supportive yet be way too frustrated by the hard stuff to show it (just ask my husband about the last few years as he finished school full-time).

You’ll get where you want to be…

Its all such a delicate balancing act. Its all going to work out -there are just going to be bumps along the way. You’re lucky you have each other. :) Happy bday JB. Also– seriously, more barf? Didn’t you just have this a few weeks ago? Im sorry! If it makes you feel any better my daughter had diarrhea and it leaked out of her diaper and I was cleaning/spraying/scrubbing shit out of the carpet. I felt like I had a dog all over again, except the dog I could send outside. ;)

Happy birthday, JB!

Insert denture cream/Geritol/Depends joke here.

Yeah, nothing between 35 and 40 registered as anything for me but getting closer to 40. Forty was okay, though.

Happy birthday, JB. And, I’ll probably be writing a very similar note to my own best friend and husband in four days. So thank you for the inspiration.

Happy Birthday, JB! On an unrelated note, I was looking at the keyboard dealywopthingamagig – and I’m wondering if you are working on a laptop type model? Maybe the lid can somehow come with the germzappopalooza thing? I know most of the doctors’ offices I visit who use EMR use laptops – which I why I ask. (forgive the overuse of technical terms)

Hope he liked the Twitterpalooza in his honor.

You are lucky to have each other, and that shines through in everything you write.

Awwwww….I just love seeing two people who were so obviously made for each other. Your coupleness is so much fun to read about.

Not to be confused with your coupling. I go elsewhere to read that kind of stuff.

Happy Birthay, JB! Cheers to an astounding year ahead!

Linda – Been there and done that. Just know that as time passes and the kids get older (and more independent)it WILL get easier. I totally remember when my girls where little and how life was a blur. Just remember to take a time out for just the two of you once in a while. It’s so very important.

Happy Birtday to JB, these are the best years!

There’s no way JB is 37. God, I hope my husband is that HAWT when he’s that age in 7 years.
Happy Birthday JB!

I’m with Samantha – who cares about turning 37? What really matters is that he’s a total hottie! (and a good dad, husband, blah blah)

Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive learn something like this before. So good to find somebody with some original ideas on this subject. realy thanks for beginning this up. this web site is one thing that’s wanted on the web, somebody with slightly originality. helpful job for bringing one thing new to the web!

That is the fitting weblog for anybody who needs to seek out out about this topic. You understand a lot its virtually arduous to argue with you (not that I truly would needHaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply nice!

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that it’s best to write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

My husband and i got quite happy Edward managed to round up his investigation through the precious recommendations he had when using the weblog. It is now and again perplexing to just be offering secrets and techniques that many most people might have…
