Our dearest daddy cheeks….

happy happy birthday, uh hum, happy 30th birthday!  Since our anniversary is only a few weeks away i will leave the sappy stuff til then…. today is all about you….dont get used to that 😉

you see, its funny that 30 years ago you were born ( yes we all know i had already been alive for 10 whole months longer than you, blah blah blah, that i’m a cradle robber, blah blah blah, that i was born in a whole ‘nother decade, blah blah blah), but its funny that 30 years ago you were born, and as vain as it is to say, YOU were made for me (okay its a little about me)!  Of course it wouldn’t be until 14 years later that we would actually meet, and even then its wasnt quite our “time”.  But i couldnt have picked a better match if i have whipped you up in photoshop.

The thing is you just know….you just know what i am craving when i cant decide.  you just know the most perfect right thing to say when i’m feeling, upset, happy, indifferent.  you just know when you dont need to say anything at all.  You just know how to, so perfectly raise two daughters, how to hold one screaming newborn or bounce her on an exercise ball at 2am, and how to show someone how to believe in themself.  You just know how to end an argument without making me admit i was soooo wrong.  You know the perfect tone of voice it takes to make two sometimes difficult sisters to “straighten up”.  you know how to dance one cranky toddler right to sleep and you know how to calm down one overdramatic hysterical wife with two words.  You know how to be a rock for everyone around you.  you know how i like my margaritas, my pizza, and  waht i want on my ipod among other things. 

you just know…..

and i couldnt be more grateful that 30 years ago today you were born.  i love you daddy cheeks & so do your baby girls
