Happy Birthday, Doug!

Today marks a special day — it is Doug’s Birthday!

We had a wonderful weekend in the Brandywine Valley in Delaware celebrating our birthdays!  The weather was gorgeous!  It was very nice to have some time away before our move to the new house!

Happy Birthday, my dear sweet Panda!  I cannot believe another year has gone by and that we have known each other just shy of nine years next month.  I cannot imagine sharing my life with anyone else.  You are my best friend.  You are my rock.  You are my confidant.  You are the yin (panda) to my yang (cheetah).  You keep me balanced and grounded with your steadfast patience.  You are one of the most kind, giving, thoughtful, and generous people I have ever met.  You are truly remarkable.  Words cannot express how fortunate I am to be sharing my life with you.  I love you.

Love, me
